2014 Perodua Viva 850EX Manual, Presently using 165 / 55 R14, Hankook Tyres

Issues,

1. Rear Right Tyre scraps  car body, when driving with rear passengers when driving over a hump /

2. Car looks slightly  tilted to the right, when parked, unladen

Requirements,
To solve points 1. & 2. Above

Is it possible, to increase Ground Clearance , say by 2-3cm, but without affecting e car’s stability at  ~125 kph ?
Are there any suspension-specialist workshops in Johor that You can recommend ?

Thanks

Sounds to me like worn absorbers

Thanks for Posting,
However, are there any After Market Shock Absorbers - that are adjustable and are better (in terms of comfort, ground clearance,..)  than the stock Perodua Shocks ?
I aaaaaaam very happy with my small, "Malay Car", and intend to keep this car for the ret of my Life

Stock=best comfort full stop.
If you need to carry heavy weight in the back often, you need to upgrade your springs.

Example is the old Saga BLM taxi. The taxi version has beefier springs than the normal car, you can see the taxis have higher ground clearance at the back. You can try the same if you want but I'd keep it stock all the way for max comfort.
