Big suspension question

Question for you guys

I want a stiffer ride but i can't lower the car, or at max 0.5", the reason is first: if i do that i cannot get to my parking place, second i drive the car in winter in canada often with almost a foot of snow. :P

Is there any stiffer spring and shock that wont lower the car??

Put a set of KYB GR2 struts and shocks in. They are a good bit firmer then the stock setup. You'll have increased handling and much less body roll.

Yup, changing the struts will improve handling. I recommend Tokico Illumina struts. A FSTB and RSB would improve handling while not changing the ride-height also.
