Default Best way to raise 1" without having coil overs???

I have tokico blues and matching springs and I would like to raise it in the front some and was wondering if anyone knows how without buying coil-overs. Bassically I need a little more clearance for taller tires. I don't want to buy better suspension right now and the car works really well for some reason with the stuff I have. Any help or ideas will be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!

Thanks

Rubber spring spacers. Effectively makes the spring taller, without changing spring rate.


Don't forget that the car needs an alignment every time ride height is changed.

I have found some of them but they are always for a Jeep. Do you know what size the stock springs are or know where I can get a pair for a Civic?
