Taller Spring for rear

I have an 89 Rs Camaro with ttops, 305, 5 speed. I am running deep dish wheels and have pretty wide tires in the back. The tires rub on wheel wells and I am wanting to put a bigger spring in back to stop this. It rides fine till i get people in the car or sharp turns or dips in the road. Was wondering if anyone knew what spring would be taller out of another car. i was thinking a caprice or something but not sure what springs i have, and what springs a caprice has. wanting a inch or 2 taller then what i have now.... any suggestions

One cheap and easy way to raise the rear is to use a fourthgen spring isolator, which will get you an inch or so, IIRC. Add Moog 5665 rear springs for more height.
