I'm considering raising my 06 VW beetle as I seem to catch everything in the road. Would like to raise about 2 inches. All help/ideas appreciated.

Just posted over in the "what did you do to your Mk 4 today" thread.
Here's my Jetta Wagon with the ID Parts lift springs, Koni Special Actives, and 1" Evolution strut spacers. The 1" shock spacer was left out, due to the range of the shock.
Haven't had a chance to drive around too much yet, but I'm pretty happy overall. I think I'm about 3" above stock here.
If you didn't want to change anything else, you could just get the 2" spacers from Evolution and call it good.

Front Springs Pair [MOOG] (Jetta VR6)
Set of "VR6" front springs from MOOG. Installing these on a Mk4 Jetta TDI, Golf TDI or New Beetle TDI will result in a slight front end lift. Please note that these will not give as much lift...

Will raising it hurt mpg?

Not as much as a busted oil pan will.

Unfortunately Evolution doesn't have a 2-in spacer only a 1 in..

Rides good! Just a touch more slop from the springs I think - but still corners great on the highway. I will say the shocks are nearly maxed out - I feel it when I go over certain speed bumps, especially if I forget to slow down.
