Max amount of cargo and passengers?

What is the max amount of weight you guys have had in your TL's? The other night, we were going out and I had 4 friends in the car. At the concert we went to, we ran into another friend. Her car was parked really far away, so I decided that we would be nice and drive her to her car. With 6 people crammed into my car, we had a total of about 900lbs. I know Acura recommends only 850lbs including cargo. Needless to say I drove extra slow especially over bumps and potholes. I didn't want to mess up my shocks. Are there any long term effects?

Peter.

If I lower my car 1.75'front/1.5back', what size wheel and tire would keep my car from rubbing with lots of weight? I pack a lot of video gear often and it weighs my car down by 200-300 lbs at times, all in the back seat and trunk. Please help! I am usually the only passenger.

I want this suspension:

and these wheels:
