Nope dude. Unless you wanna heat the springs. But that is risky.

Without doing something dumb, the only way is to change the springs.

Somebody, I can't remember who, makes a weld in coil over-type threaded collar and nut. Anybody know. You would weld this thing onto your strut tube and it allowed for about 1.5 inches of ride height adjustment. If I remember who made them I'll post it.

Do you want to go up or down? If up the you can put spacers at the top of the strut tower. It's going to affect your alignment. Going down, some people cut springs, but then these are the types of people who don't wear helmets either.

To do it right get a coil-over suspension from Ground Control. It'll get you low enough to ruin an oil pan.
