What are the option to increase the ride height? Vehicle - FIT GP1
Low ground clearance is a pain to travel in areas away from colombo.

Unless you have worn out shocks, if the ride height is a real concern then best to change the car
than changing the ride height(if not done properly it might impact the handling characteristics of the car or worse make it unsafe). I did the same coz the roads I had to travel, even the Allion couldn't make it. If you only need just a couple of mms more then it might be ok to modify the current ride.

reasons for not recommending strut spacers are that, I lost the comfort the car earliest had after the spacers were put in and it started making a loud thud sound from the rear whenever I went over the road bump so had to extra slow when going bumps. I put 2 inch spacers which made a noticeable gap between the wheel and wheel wells which, to be me was, ugly AF. During sharp bends/ beds with upward or downward slopes it started making a "kiri kiri" sound from the front suspension. Now I have an Axio but I still won't get it done to it due to those issues. I will happily let it bottom out or would ask the rear passengers to get down if I sense its get the bottom scraped. Gotta live with it until I can afford to drive a crossover/SUV..sigh
