Default For all you H&R Owners

How is the ride with a heavy load? I am always driving around 4 or 5 people in my car at work because (of course) the A8 gets to nominated when going on business ventures. But I want better cornering.

Default Heavy Load - not too much different

I don't know how long your busines ventures are, but if they are 100 or 200 miles on bumpy roads, I can't promise you everybody will be comfortable as if you had the stock suspension, but they will like how you can go around the corners!

The beauty of the H&R set up is that it won't bottom out (i.e. the springs hit their stops) because it has the progressive spring rate.

I've driven 500 miles in a day with one passenger, it's perfect! When I put 4 people in the car to go to lunch....no problem....and when I've got 6 girls plus myself going from bar to bar....never even thought about it! <img src="http://www.tyresmoke.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/NONO3.GIF">

Default I'll second Paul's comments, with my limited experience.

We went out to dinner 4-up Sunday 4/4, for my Birthday , about 15 miles one way, (~10 Interstate and 5 surface streets), and it was just fine.
