Default what to do?

hi,im running 18"X 7.5" et48 alloys with 215/35/18 tyres on my v4 type r.
the suspension setup is kyb agx adj shocks with tein springs.i am unfortunetely experiencing arch rub on fairly hard cornering.the car is obviously sitting too low as i have adjusted the shocks up quite stiff and its still hapening.
my options are fairly limited as i want to keep the wheels on,i was thinking maybe i could fit some standard springs back on to the kyb agx shocks to raise the ride height slightly? would this work or is the only way to fit coilovers? if not oe springs, is there anything else out there that will lower a very small amount? i think the tein springs im using lower the car approx 30mm front and rear which is obviously too much.
any ideas on the best way to go?
didnt really want to go for coilovers.....
thanks.

Camber bolts and arch rolling will be good for start.

Rolled arches cost around £150 and usually Arch Enemy can come to you as they come to us,here is website and there are contact for someone who this doing in your area
