VERY firm rear springs?

is there aome way that i can get VERY firm rear springs? currently i only have about 300lbs in the trunk..with the mods over the winter for next season i plan on having that grow to about 450lbs just from the equipment in the trunk..(not counting 100+ft of 1/0 wire, speakers, amps for the highs, 100+ft of 12awg and etc)

I have the maxima sitting on maxspeeds and kyb in the front and kyb and the stock SE springs as on now the car is pretty level and the rear is alil bouncy somethings(Only if im going fast on a big dip)

My first reaction to fix the sagging for next season is to put the maxspeed springs on the rear with a 1" rubber coil extender from autozone. but im not sure if this will be enough to support the weight and remain pretty stiff and firm and not loose and bouncy..Maybe instead 2 on each coil ill do 4 on each coil...

is there any companies out there that makes rear springs with an high weight limit?

I was just about to say coilovers too. I can set mine to stiff, and they pretty much don't bouncy around at all. Feels like driving a brick on full hard.
