My car is Proton Wira. Recently I had changed my bumper, put on the side and rear skirt, changed 15" sport rims with 195/50/R15 tires. However, my gf is complaining that the car is too low because cant go to high slope especially shopping complex car park (this made her have to walk further).

Can someone out there tell me what can I do to make my ride higher so that I can enter shopping complex car park?

I had attached a photo of my car.

Where is the ori spring? BTW, the car looks like not too low. Still got 2-3 fingers between the tire and mudguard.

I am fat and she is thin, So I think can balance off, haha...
BTW, my car got ICE.

May I know how much is absorber? I just changed my tires when changing the sports rims. The tires guy said 195/55/R15 cant suit wor.

Hump is not a problem, I can go sideway like you mentioned. But in the multi-storey car park, the slope to another level make me cant go further.

Any related to the ORI spring? the bodykit is low, that make me cant enter shopping complex multi-level car park because of the slope there.

some tips that might cure your prob bro. 1st of all, 195/55/15 can fit into wira. even 195/60/15 no prob. i'm using wira too n believe, i've tried lots n lots of tyre settings. u have to use higher profile type to make up with the bodykits that u've install. bigger rims would be better but hey, we're no GTR owners rite? as for the rear abs, try changing the standard rubber above your spring. i dont really know what its name though. its the rubber between your spring n abs. the standard is 1", change to 2". price include labour for it is between RM50-RM70 for both side. but i recommend u to change the tyre to higher profile 1st b4 u change the rubber. good luck!
