A good set of coilovers will do the trick.
Being MacPherson Strut suspension front and rear, there are quite a bit of adjustments available

What is the reason for raising the ride height? Is it for ground clearance.

Yes it is only to increase ground clearance . I'm trying to keep the car as standard as possible.

If that is the case I will just go with a good set of dual perch coilovers like the MeisterR Zeta-R because you can adjust the ride height without "messing" with the moving part of the suspension.

There are cheaper ways of doing it, but a balancing act between sorting out the damper travel or springs rate.
It will require a bit of work and experimenting, and may yield sub-standard result.
So that is why I would just recommend a set of coilovers as I know you can just bolt it onto the car, adjust to the desired ride height, and the car will work as intended.
