first i searched and didnt find anything, unless i dunno how to use the stupid thing... anyways...
my cars lowered on sportlines(stock struts for now, and YES i know Koni Yellow's are coming VERY, VERY SOON) and was just wondering if its ok to have 4 people in your car when your lowered? like me, and 3 friends? most of my buddies are in the 180lb+ area w/ me prolly weighting the most(215-220)..
i mean will this cause my springs to sag more in the rear? i do have somewhat of a system that is easily 100+ pounds? it doesnt looked like its sagged in the rear it looks all even still even after a year & a half, so ya should i worry at all? thanks for the help...

obviouslly it's going to drop more....
more weight = more force to the ground....
depends how low you have it now... with 4 people you might hit a bump and bottom out.....
might wanna wait till you get your koni's. or be very carefull....

we had 5 people in a friends Z24 , and we went to get food when we were at the race track , and suprisingly it didnt ride to bad , im not sure what he has for struts
but the ride wasnt that much more bouncy , with 5 people
i had 6 people in my cav, including me when i had coils. not at bad right up front but the people in the back hated it
You may want to have teh guys in the rear wear helmets dependsing on how tall they are. Depends on the roads though too. Drive smart and you shouldn't have a lot of trouble.
Well considering that your already lowered and adding more weight lowers the car more can always and up with a arsh ride. BUT if you drive slowly and watch for pot holes, bumps, etc, your going to survive the ride has well has the suspension components. Has for the back persons if there tall lend them a helmet, there going to need it

im 6'3" and my one buddy is taller than me and he rides in the back all the time...
but what i meant was will this cause long term effects? the ride isnt bad w/ 4 people i just wanted to know if it will cause the rear to sag in the long run... cuz i dont usually cruise around with that many people only when we hit up the bar.. and roads are REALLY bad here but my car has survived so far, so i guess i shouldnt worry... thanks for all the replies guys...

like everyone has mentioned , just stay away from the obvious stuff in the road , and you shouldnt have any additional problems
and a helmet in the back is a bad idea !!!!!! cause that will blow the back window out , LOL
unless you use the rubber helmets , LOL
me at 6'1 290 back in the day, mike wanderer at 6'8 340, my roomate chris at 6'0 250, and his cousin mike who was 6'3 295 all rode in my car once. needless to say a carload of college football players, it rode low. handling was not as responsive, and its more stress on everything.
wouldnt be something i;d opt to do daily. at a near stock height adjustment, we were prob 2 inches or more lower than normal. needless to say that was just for one night.
hehe thats low
dont need to lower the car anymore. Drop in couple of 230 pounds and your set for the nicest drop
