My 2009 ISF came extremely lowered
I recently purchased a 2009 ISF which was modified by the previous owner, he dropped the vehicle so low that the rear tire was practically touching the wheel well and was scraping like crazy. I took it to a shop to have the wheel well rolled which helped a bit but it still scrapes on bigger road dips, especially at higher speeds.
My question is, what would be a good set of springs to keep the vehicle somewhat lowered, but still allow enough clearance for regular city driving? Should I get a set of 32 way adjustable springs, I found on Ebay, or a set of standard lowering springs (I found a set from Tein which lowers the front 1" and the rear .6"). I just don't want the drop to be too modest so that I will feel a major difference from the way it drives now.

I didn't want to go back to completely stock as I mentioned in the post. Do you think a 1" drop at the front and .6" drop in the rear would allow clearance around the city?

It looks like plastidip with the glossifier
If you can swing it get a set of coilovers. The drop from the springs you are looking at should be fine, take a look at this thread these springs will give you an idea of the drop height.

The springs that the guy used are not adjustable, my shop already looked at it. I would need to buy a new set of springs.

What width and offset are your wheels? What size tires do you have? Where is it rubbing.....on the tabs, the fender lip, the backside of the liner? Are you peeling the sidewalls of the tire at all?
The car doesn't look extremely low. Do you have any idea what springs they are or what color they are? There are only so many spring available for the ISF so it shouldn't be hard to figure out.

Your tire and wheel specs are relevant to this so without that info it's hard to say what you need and why you need it.
If you get that information off the back of the rim and the front of the tire it would be much easier to get the help you want.
If you are ready to buy some suspension parts I would suggest that you talk to Figs Engineering since that will be the best resource for technical information and ordering parts.
I would suggest BC Racing coil overs rather then Ksport.
