Yes, there is. The Airlift has true adjustable height coilovers with adjustable mounts. That way you don't lose travel when raising or lowering them. To raise above stock height you need to get the rear mounts from an STI though, see photo.
I just took these pics 5 mins ago. without adjusting struts I aired up my Airlift struts and I have 2" more in front, and 1" more in the back, and that's with a trailer hooked up too! I could adjust the struts to get another 1" in back and 2" more in front. How much lift do you need?

Talk to Brian @ airlift. maybe he can find another set of STI rear mounts. If you can get those, than you can get your 1.5" lift.

Here's some pics of my hidden airlift setup. I use the trunk for my work, computer repair, so I didn't want to lose space for a tank. I also towed my kayak trailer to Reno and back from Vancouver. 31+ Mpg! Thanks to Unichip.

I am interested in a solution to raise my car up for winter as well. Currently sitting 20mm lower than stock on my B8+RCE Yellow combo and would like to go at least 20mm higher than stock...

That's not exactly accurate, the BRZ doesn't just look low, it is.

Stock ground clearance is 4.9".
