Getting more height out of my IE3's

[JPL]

I have IE stage 3's front and rear on my car and i don't like how low the rear looks with my kopi's.

I was wondering which springs would raise the rear a little bit more than the IE3's. Would H&R sports not lower it as much as the IE3's?

Second, is it gay (or ill-advised) to run different springs on the rear than the front?

Third, could i just stack a bunch of upper spring pads on top of my IE3's to get the desired height I want or is that not safe? And, in my mind if I raise the rear a little bit, it would logically decrease the negative camber that I have currently.

Thanks guys, I know there a lot to answer but any info helps.

well spring pads will work and are cheap and pretty simple solution, no real issues with doing it either.

also if you wanted you could go H&R race springs they have almost the exact same stiffness and they raise up the back a little bit, compared the IE3's look better on early models and H&R race looks better on late model

I use multiple thick spring pads works great. If i had to do it again I'd just get coilovers so i could adjust the height.

Remove front spring pads and add thicker ones int he rear.

I added two upper spring pads to each side of the rear. i wasn't expecting it to be raised so high. I have some bitchin' rake now. It's like a muscle car without the muscle. I think I am gonna take one out after I let the car settle a little.
