Default Dropped with a system?

Hey guys,

I'm looking into a MODEST drop for my car, but will be installing a good amount of stereo equipment (see sig). Will sport springs be greatly affected by the added weight of the stereo (I estimate about 150 lbs, 75% in the trunk)?

I assume the drop is for looks only. Can't be too worried about performance if your adding 150lbs. Shouldn't be a prob.

H&R sounds like it might work, but will I have a severe scraping hazard on my hands? Right now I have no problems. Oh..and I CARE about performance, I'm just not racing. Actually, havin a lil' extra weight over the rear tires might help w/ traction
