My ex was lowered when I got it and there is about a quarter of an inch max between the rear tire and the body. what parts are altered to lower it in the first place and how do I raise it so it doesn't rub?

 

lowering springs or coil overs are how they are lowered

how much of a rub do you have? If you dont wanna raise it you could always roll the fender to keep it from rubbing.

 

if they're coilovers you can raise the car, but if they're springs, then you can't do anything but buy new springs to raise it. If they are springs, you can roll your fenders. You can use a baseball bat, but it won't turn out as good as if you use the tool. The tool is expensive to rent, and expensive to buy. addiction2bass wants to buy the tool and rent it to people. info is in this link. https://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_59.../tm.htm#591499
