2001 Buick Regal

It already has a naturally low ride height,

And I feel like I've lost some over the years. The suspension is stock with the exception of new shocks I installed about 6 months ago. In the interest of full disclosure I do have a trunk full of car audio equipment, subs and amplifiers, probably 100-150lbs, but I've taken it out at times (like when I replaced the shocks) and it didn't seem to make a lot of difference. I'm looking for a way to economically increase the ride height 1-2" if possible.

As you know, the rear shocks are McPherson struts. There aren't a lot of options to lift a car with a suspension like that. At least not economically.

Most obvious, would be replacing the springs with new ones. This may give you some extra ride height, as the original ones are likely sagging and the progressive resistance has diminished some.
