I DO NOT, i repeat, I DO NOT want to lower my RA. i want to know a good product to buy to help my suspension be more stiff. i just put brand new CONTINENTAL EXTREME CONTACT DSW tires on my car because my NITTO 555's were getting small cuts on the rear tires from rubbing against my car i guess. they are 20's. and now my right rear tire is starting to get them as well, but just the back right tire, THANK GOD. so any ideas or suggestions on a suspension to get to keep my car up? and away from rubbing my rear tires.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe with certain coilovers you can stay at the stock height or even higher, and you can set them to whatever firmness you want.

No real Shock/Struts replacements yet other than OEM replacements. Another option is having an experience shop re-valve the stock units to be more stiff.

Have you rolled the fenders?

Like others mentioned only way to remain at stock height and achieve a stiffer suspension set-up would be to go with adjustable coilovers or get the struts re-valved. That or have an aftermarket company make you some springs with stiffer rates. Have you considered that your wheels might be too large? I mean why spend money on something that ain't broke. In this case it's your wheels causing the problem. To each his own though.

Those wheels are huge. lol. got pics?

You could either go with what has been mentioned above about the coilovers and re-valving or you could get fancy like the stance guys and do a fender pull.
