Just wondering if anyone has any way of raising the car SAFELY.

I dun wanna get coil overs & i don't wanna change springs.

I've got 5zigen springs, but just want to raise the front like 2cm to stop from scraping my driveway.

Any ideas?

Yeah,it's annoying.I've knocked the same exhaust bolt out twice,just before the cat.But now I'm coming in on the driveway almost parallel with it and it's not scraping or just scraping.I will be getting coilovers so that's gonna make that a bit more challenging.Ya can't pull the exhaust up either cause how it is,is it's natural line,can't bend em'.

i don't think theres any other way of raising it that much without changing springs

just change your driveway to suit your car :p

by intalling my castor kit and swapping my lcas over it raised the front of my car about 2 cm. which i liked. front used to sit lower than the rear by that much.

blocks of wood are your friend. big bits of lumber like the sleepers in retaining walls

Talk to Pedders. We lowered our work ute a few years but the rear was too low, so they supplied us with approx 1 inch thick polyurethane inserts/bushes to fit between the spring and it's seat, one each side did the trick. Suspension travel remains the same but alters height only which seems to be what you want.
