Default Changing Height

My 99 FRC was delivered earlier this week ...

As I'm in Canada and the car came from California I have to jump through a few hoops before its on the road

In the meantime I have another problem the car has been lowered nad I have trouble getting in and out of my driveway

The driveway will be redone but I have few other mods I'd prefer to do first...Is there an easy way to bump the car up just a little...please note I'm a mechanical klutz and even without removing anything I'll likely end up with bits left over...

Thanks

Do a search for lowering on stock bolts. Then just undo what it tells you to do to lower it. Basically tighten the nuts on the rear bolts, and turn the front bolts in as if tightening them with the weight of the car off the spring.
