Raising Aero Wagon Suspension - Update

Thanks to all for their suggestions. There are two paths to achieve this.
1. Replace Aero springs and shocks with stock SE parts. This gives about an inch of lift and will allow 225/55/16's to fit nicely.
2. Abbott Racing was the only aftermarket company that offered any assistance. They can make custom springs that are 10mm (.4 in) taller and match them with Koni adjustables. The springs are quite a bit stiffer than the Aero springs so the same objective is serviced - taller tires attached to stiff springs that won't allow the 225/55/16's to hit the wheel wells. I'll be talking with Abbott today and nailing down the specifics. They are great folks to work with.
I know this will sound crazy, but I am going with Firestone Firehawk SZ50 EP tires. They rate extremely well in all key areas - wet/dry traction, noise, hyrdoplaning, etc. A friend of mine has them on his '00 GTI and loves 'em.
