Subject:lifting a 1990 Carat

hi all,

as far as I know (according to measurements of the vans we have) - from
center of wheel to the wheel arch (front wheels - all vans are tin-top) -
all vans are sitting level, none has sagging rear...

- Carat: 15.5"

- GL:  17"

- Syncro: 19"

so the Carat is the lowest and I would like to lift it up a bit, not as
high as the Syncro but as hight as the GL would be nice...

I just entertain this idea but a bit afraid of taking away the unique
characteristic of the Carat...

so... if I do it... what's the best way to lift it up? (at reasonable
price) - as it is now the Carat has stock springs with Red Classic Konis at
stiffest setting...

thanks for any idea...
