Think I need extra thick tremolo springs?

I have an Ibanez RG with the SynchroniZR non locking floating bridge. I like the way it feels and all but because the whole system only allows for two springs to be used at once, and the bridge bends too easily when ever Im bending a string. Its been set up properly by a tech and I've tried adjusting the bridge farther back but I just dont think the 2 stock springs are strong enough to hold the bridge back. I know that this is commonplace for floating trems but mine is pretty extreme compared to other guitars. Since I cant just add an extra spring like with a fender style trem, do they make thicker or heavier tremolo springs so i can have the extra tension needed to keep my bridge from being pulled too much when its not in use?
 
My strat with factory Floyd is doing the same thing. If I bend hard the trem moves and note goes out of pitch. It's nothing terrible or unplayable but it bothers me, just noticed it recently. It wasn't doing it before.
