Need help with my first Honda

Hello every i just bought my first Honda last week and it has a very annoying problem. The car was lowered with adjustable springs but even with it raised to the top the car sits very low. I need to have a comfortable ride lol. I just want the car to sit up at a normal height to avoid wheel scraping and banging. I don't want to spend alot of money to get it raised back up to normal. What do i need to buy to get this done and could someone please tell me where to get it? I don't really need anything too fancy just stock or alittle above.It doesn't matter if its off the net or in a store. Also if you have other suggestions that would be great.

so you're just looking for stock suspension for the car? check craigslist/honda-tech/etc for that... it usually goes for cheap. if you go to a junkyard or parts store, theyre going to charge you much more

yes im looking for stock suspension for the most part. I just wasnt sure what parts to buy though. What exactly do i need to buy to get my car back to normal? I was thinking about getting these for the front and rear

if you have adjustable springs-in which i beleive you mean coil overs you should be able to raise it up.depending on the type on the car there will either be 2 lock rings to loosen to adjust or a thick lock ring with a screw to loosen to adjust.if you dont have coilovers then just do like the guy above said search ebay or craigslist for stock suspension

Junkyard springs, or check to see if your current adjustable ones will go any higher ... which may require some muscle to compress the tiny things that are on there, as you adjust the collar lock up more.
