For RWC purposes I need my car to be a little higher than it is...but I don't want to stuff around with the suspension (non-adjustable). Any ideas?

The car is currently sitting on 15" wheels. If I were to purchase 17" (lets say the tyres will match current wheelbase), how much added height am I looking at?

You can get adjustable blocks that you fit between the spring coils and wind them up to bring your ride height up. Of course they arent legal so RWC might be tricky, but then, technically either are bigger rims.

May i ask what part is illegal on ur ride?? like i remember my ride my side skirts was the ilegal height i had a choice of taking it off and putting it back on after the defect is clear but i got new springs for my ride bcoz i really needed them coz was rolling on cut springs at the time...

but yeah as others had said get bigger rims or adjustable blocks

The car is on cut springs. The lowest point of the car is the cat...appears to be around 50-60mm off the ground.

Should I get myself a set of kings superlows? They are legal height and will only cost me $80...although I just paid $100 to get these springs installed!

In that case I'll get the king superlows. I have KYB Excel-G shocks.

No matter how high your car is cut springs are illegal and the RWC inspector will find it. Fix 2 problems in 1 and get new springs and keep ya ride safe and confortable.

you can do this method but use wood blocks, done it on my EK4 and passed the pits. Jack the car up and put two blocks on each spring. It might be unsafe but does the job
