97 CL lowering

Now....Question for all of you serious car guys: If I lower my CL, will I be weight limited? Will two adults and three kids bottom this baby out if I need to use my CL for a people mover in a pinch?

Thanks, Rick

the increased spring rate is supposed to at least support the same weight in theory. I think for the most part the only thing you have to worry about is when you got the nutty professor in your car - and you have rims, is it going to rub?

When I had my accord, it was slammed with 17's (see gallery 1st gen - back in the day) and I took drove the car around packed full of people. I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you stay with the prokit, no problems
