Re: Best way to raise the rear?
depending on the condition of the origional springs, a new set would most likely raise the rear a bit. Moogs iroc replacement springs raised my car about 2" when i put them on a few years back
and the rear springs are easy to change

Re: Best way to raise the rear?
yea, I have heard that. But when refering to 1-2 inches higher, i was thinking from stock hight

86 is right. Swap in the Moog replacements and keep the insulators and you'll jack the car up significantly.

Re: Best way to raise the rear?
gas shocks, my rear end lifted a little when i put them in. I put in Gabriel Ultras.maybe something to do with the spring insulators would be a good way to increase ride hight.
