Spring Load, too many people in my car.

If everyday I carry about 5 adults in my max for about 10 miles, is it bad for my car/suspension components? My car is lowered with eibachs and the car doesn't drag with that much load, but it feels like the springs are compressed...these guys are heavy too from 180lbs all the way to 250lbs. Thanks...

depends on what shocks you have, if you have factory shocks then i suggest you to stop. Aftermarket shocks should be fine if you go easy on the bumps. But i guess they could wear faster if you are doing this everyday.

I have tokikos....but what you said does make sense. I do drive slow when it's fully loaded, but it's not worth the added stress. Thanks!
