Thumbs down trunk too heavy.

Have a 97 civic ex with a nice stereo system that is killing my rear suspension. I love my stereo and don't want to take it out of the car. Hence my delema. What can I do to increase the weight load of the trunk by about 100 lbs? I have 17" rims with no drop and don't care to lower the car. I think that finding a more rigid set of rear springs is my best solution to carry the weight but I am not sure. Adjustable shocks? Coil Over? Does anyone have a solution to maintain the factory look and rake?

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Coil overs with stiffer springs should do it.

This is the wrong section for a general question like this. Post questions like this under the General Automotive section, under Gneral Civic Talk.
