if its stock its kinda hard to rise them
the cheaper method, using after-market rubber damper
but you may need more than one pair per spring to rise them as
yours abit low
the more expensive method, install shock dampers or spring damper
or both called coilover as they are adjustable

most likely you'll opt for rubber damper
cost abt 60 for a pair
not sure abt separate shock/spring damper
as i got myself the coilover
which cost around 1.5k (perfect for comfort and performance)
in fact i bought the rubber first but aft using for a while
still it hit the fender at humps so no choice
pain pain get the coilover as else will be spending unnecessary money learning
if you wanna try out the rubber i can let go cheap to you
(if you still like them)

First question I'd ask is, why is it low?
Because you setup the suspensions to be low? or over time, it just got lower and lower?
If over time, it got lower and lower, check your suspensions, it could be the springs sagging (time to change springs) or the shocks are blown (time to change shocks)
If its because you adjust the suspension to be low, then obviously too low liao right? just raise it.
