Raising a '98 Integra to Stock Height
Disclaimer: I don't know a lot about this stuff. I'm certain it is a spring-type lowering (whatever that means), because I've had I don't know how many mechanics tell me to undo it.
Alright, I know this is a bit uh... counter to most of the posts here, but here goes. I'm in posession of a 98 Acura Integra LS that was bought lowered. Poorly. Lessons learned, I suppose.
Anyways, the car is now a friend of the family but its sporty days are coming to an end as the springs are giving up the ghost and the lowering is causing all sorts of issues from un-even wheel placement and the more than occasional scraped underbody. One muffler has already gone to muffler heaven.
So! I need to raise my 98 Integra badly. It is approaching 100k miles and it's time for it to put up its feet and enjoy an easier ride. It's a spring-style lowering, and I've been told that my best option, really, is to just get a set of factory springs. Where can I find them for reasonable price? Retail, I do believe, is rather expensive. Would I have good luck, say, just buying a set from someone here who is looking to LOWER their Acura?
I'm hoping so. Please, respond here, respond via email to twinightremovethisstuffatgmaildotcom, whatever works for you. I need all the help I can get, and this is the best resource available.

Your most likely gonna need new struts too. If the spring is giving out it is most likely the loss of the support of the strut causing most of the give. I've never really heard of lowering springs going bad.
