My car has the original Hartge suspension, which looks great but I find it is a tad low. I have to be very cautious with bumps and humps!

The car has Bilstein shocks all around and I really like the rake. Is there a way to raise it a tad or replace the springs all around to achive a similiar rake? If so, what springs please?

I have searched through the forum but couldnt find an answer. Thanks in advance.

This is how the car sits currently:

you could always use thicker spring hats to bring it up a few mm?

Thanks. I will look in to fitting thicker spring hats. I assume it can be fitted to just the front?
