Thats just not possible, because the springs need to fit in the spring seats. You best bet would be a Ground Control coilover conversion kit for your shocks. I believe the GC's use 2.5" diameter springs.
how much clearance do you need ? I run the ground control set up and was able to get a set of 265/35R18 tires under back, and that's all that will fit on mine. Any bigger and they would rub on the suspension in front of the tire.
You can get linear coilover 2.5" springs to work on the fronts.I was thinking of doing the same,but it's a bit of work.Just at first glance,you are going to have to cut off the shelve springs like Eibachs,QA1's,etc. and have to figure out the before and after spring rates/lengths taking into account the initial spring compression from vehicle weight and grind the spring ends so the spring sites flat to get the desired ride height.You will also need spring hats for the strut tops and spacers.That's why people just go with ground controls.Another thing you can do is buy a cheap honda civic coilover spring kit for 40-50 bucks off of ebay and junk the springs for better set like the QA1's,eibachs and use the sleaves/spring hats to get the desired ride height and not have to cut the springs.
