Default 91 HB looking for heavy duty suspension (not lowering or racing)

I bought my little HB so that I could use it as a get around car and haul my sound equipment in. It has a ZC engine swap in it where they removed the A/C and a bunch of other stuff, but that's not the issue at the moment.

The car has 15" rims on it from a Scion. I destroyed two of them because the previous owner didn't tighten them up enough (in case you don't know the center bore is off and to use these you have to keep tightening in increments for awhile). Again, not the issue. Along with the ZC swap he added "racing" suspension. It has adjustable coilovers in the front and sport springs in the back. The coilovers are shorter spring wise, but with the adjustment where it is, I think it's about stock height. What I don't like is that it has no suspension travel. I can't drive down the road without the whole car jumping from hitting a bump in the road. I want the suspension to ride close to stock, but it also has to be able to handle an extra 250-300lbs in the back and not rub on the 15" tires. I've seen soo much in the way of lowering these, but nothing for making them useful for hauling. Any suggestions? Will an integra suspension fit / give me the characteristics I want? Thanks.

you can try getting a set of ground control coilover kit...they're height adjustable and you can get custom spring rate if you need hard or soft...you just have to check if they would fit your current struts...

What about using something like a set of EG springs in the front and teg in the rear? There's gotta be an OEM spring for a heavier car that can fit.
