Default Coilovers too low, do I need another geo set up

Not long had my coilovers fitted to my blob sti, the company that did the geo set up have set them too low and there is a fair bit of arch rubbing especially on the rears and after some spirited driving,

I've just put some new rubber on the car so don't want to damage the tyres,

Can I raise the height withought getting another geo set up or will It have to be done again?

The other option is to get the arches rolled but not too sure how much this costs?

Will need geo again if you lift it. Arch rolling is a pita and easy to crack the paint if doing it yourself. Does depend how much clearance you need.

Does raising coilovers just effect camber?

Raise the car and let the suspension work as it is supposed to work instead of rolling the arches.
If you don't align it again means you will have a little less camber.
Try and see first.
