Fark me thats low.. Kings tend to sag over a period of time.. get Kings Lows.. should raise your car a bit. :)

Kings Lows - 1.5"
Kings Superlows - 2"

Get adjustable shocks.. koni yellows.. its adjustable height and dampers :)

king is the brand of the lowering springs...they're quite good in quality, although still not comparable to more branded names...most people use king lowering springs to lower their cars with minimum budget...

as said, king springs would cost you around 300-ish, expect to pay about $100 (maybe more) for installation also...

from the pics, i think ur car is on lowering springs, but i wouldn't know what brand they are, assuming they're king springs, then it's more than likely they're super low king springs...

if u want to raise up the car, u can use low king springs or just stock EK springs, but with stock springs ur car would look very high...

note: don't confuse urself between springs and shocks...

No.. king lows are springs.. I was just saying maybe its better to get an adjustable shocks, so you can adjust your ride height.. and if your using stock shock.. it'll die sooner.

Some good quality springs are Eibach (can't think anymore right now). Get an Eibach Prokit.. should raise you height fine. Pretty sure other members will direct you in the right path. :)

Whats your budget ?

If money isn't too much of a problem, grab yourself a set of coilovers so you can adjust your ride height accordingly.

But if your a bit strapped for cash atm, then go with LLS and Sydsyd's advice and grab yourself a set of King lows or any set of springs that's within the budget.
