Default new suspension problem

Hi so i recently posted about trying to raise my 350 1 inch, because i was told that it had been lowered. so i found out it was the stock suspension. i bought some eibach springs to bring it up one inch. ran into a problem, it turns out that the car was never lowered somehow when the body kit was put on it was put on to make it appear lowered. when i put the new springs on it actually lowered it one inch bringing it even closer to the ground. with that information what would it take to raise the car about one inch, since that is all i would need to solve my problem (body hitting and rubbing on damn near anything that is not flat). am i looking at new suspension all around or can i get a different set of springs that will raise it with out needing new shocks and struts and all that jazz. Any help will be very appreciated. thanks

You previously told us it was lowered 2" that's why people recommended those springs since they are a 1" drop which would have increased your ride height by 1"

I told you on 01-10-2018 that the wide body is mounted lower than stock wheel wells.

I believe that the g35 suspension would raise the car, but I don't know how much. Maybe someone else might know.

Otherwise you probably need to find spacers for the springs ...maybe these will work?

G35 sedan is supposed to be ~1" and the G35 coupe should be ~1/2" higher than the Z suspension. Sort of related but check out the thread on the rally Z. They went with g35 sedan suspension. You may also need to change out upper control arms to get proper suspension geometry.
