Un-lowering my Integra! Need advice!

I just bought a 95 Integra SE. It's slammed. I can't navigate some of the driveways I frequent without uh, grading the road. Need to raise it back up and need to do it for cheap.

My car currently has Tokiko struts and springs- they look just like Tokico Advanced Handling Kit Acura Integra 90-93-Acura Coil Over Kits but I have a lot more than 1" drop.

My main question is, can I just buy some cheap coilovers (like these: Acura Integra 94-02 Dropzone Adjustable Coilovers -Acura Coil Over Kits) or do I need to get replacement struts as well?

not true about dropzone. actually are reliable, purchase-worthy parts. as for raising it back up, a complete OEM assembly couldnt be a bad route. just dont buy worn parts. scan ebay even. people sell more parts for these things than cars to fit them on will ever exist

bullshit
I worked for a "dynamic" dealer, we sold dropzone. Them fuckers are junk. Trust me I installed hundreds of them and unistalled almost as many, because of damage collars, and sagging springs.
