I've checked out the wiki but can't find the answer.
I have a tin top, twin slider DG which is a little high compared to other T25s.
What I'd like to do is make it a little higher, in fact as high as it will go whilst maintaining stability and without adding any exotic parts.
Anyone know how high I can go and how to do it?
btw, before anyone asks, I can't afford a Syncro Joker etc until my lotto numbers come up

Re: high is the new low
With a tintop I would definitely go with zero lift GoWesty springs, they will give you an extra inch at least. You can also add spring spacers and larger wheels/tyres. In general 215/75/15s are the largest you can go.
