Adding trunk weight will help a bit with traction and it's free, but now you've added more weight for the engine to pull, too. Not that this cancels out the trunk-weight benefits, but it does diminish them a bit.

It would be better to upgrade the control arms and rear shocks, then go to a softer-compound tire, or if money is an issue, just run a stickier tire.
