For the rear you can wind the spring bolts up and raise it that way.  for the front - new springs.

going to 60 series tyre wont fix your problem this wil only throw your speedo out .
any suspension specialist can help raise your car. Pedders for instance
I had the same problem with my car solved it by using the neighbours driveway

60 series tyres with the SAME width you have now will increase the hight of the tyre...which in effect lifts the car...
the 60 series means its 60 % of the width or the tyre... called aspect ratio..
but correct it will play around with the speedo, and odometre...
but that can be fixed with an adaptor....

Hi Ray,
If you can't afford to buy vet84y's neighbours house, it might be worth looking at what's scraping. If it's just the exhaust, perhaps it can be modified - much easier than raising the rest of the vehicle.
