Question Cheapest / Easiest Way to add 1-2 inches in the rear?

To those of you who know far more about suspension etc than I do, My back end is once again riding a bit lower than Id like so what would be the easiest way to add an inch or two?

Get some spring supports from autozone or some other auto store.

I had a local shop make me 1.5' rubber cup spacers to raise the overall ride height of my car. Don't you have a shop that does that there?

FYI when I installed Tanabe NF210 springs sourced from a local JDM parts supplier, it said that the lowering would be mild, like 1.2' all around. Apparently, this was based on oem Yaris JDM spring height. When I installed it on my car, it got lower by almost 2.5 inches when I really just wanted 1' or so so I had rubber spring cup spacers made. Raised the overall ride height all around, got stiffer springs and still have lots of suspension travel :)
