By pushing a button and raising it up (air ride suspension).

He lives in Northern Ohio and although he has air suspension and can lift it he still rides pretty low normally.

Atleast an inch or two. Trying to lay rocker this summer. I'm gonna get some bigger wheels which will raise the car, then it's time to work on lowering it back down to where it is
Skimmr, did your rear wheels clear on the inside before the spacers?

I have no idea in the front, we installed the spacers the same time we installed the wheels and the coilovers, but I don't think it would have cleared. It cleared fine in the rear.
Skimmr?

What wheels are those? I have a Pepper White with stock rims and can't decide what wheels to get, those ones look quite tempting (if they come in 17")

I'm always tempted to call you Vic, but that's not your real name. I went with skimmr to spice things up
Thanks for the info on the rear. I've been trying to figure out how close we can get on the inside with 8's. 45 is promising
