what is there out there to replace the stock suspension that wont lower the car any?

 

sir or madam.....please feel free to browse this forum for all your suspension needs

 

Yes. What're you trying to achieve over the 3 flavors [standard, sport, and JCW] of OEM suspension?

That said, why on earth wouldn't you want to lower an R56? They look absurd at stock ride height with all that wheel gap showing how non-concentric the wheels are within the arches.

 

i live in alaska. drive on dirt roads every so often. dont want to smash my lip on any rocks i might lower the back but i have to wait till i get my defusser installed first. wondering what would be my options and i could just get bigger tires and rims oh i have the standard s suspension

 

Many of the coil overs on the market can be set at or near stock ride height.

 

If you're looking to lower some of the year, coilovers do sound like the best bet (based on what your intentions seem to be). But they tend to a trade off for a very stiff ride no matter what the settings are, which you may or may not prefer.
