well i realized after reading some threads about lowering springs and such that the weight of a person can effect the springs itself, and the performance of the car

my cousin occasionally borrows my car, or i have to pick him up, and he is a rather big guy

but im really wanting to put some nf's on my sedan

will him being in my car, i guess, tilt the car to much on his side that the cars front bumper will pretty much smack thee ground?

?????

why not judge what he weighs....find some sand bags or something similar and add them to the car and see how much drop the car receives....

I don't think so unless he is like 400lbs.

My car was dropped on eibach spring which is similar to nf drop I guess.

One time my previous company ask me to put 1000 mixed king and queen size sheet in my car and deliver them to a hotel, my car was forced to drop very LOW, I find it hard to brake and accelerate really slow but it will not hit the ground.

So I wouldn't worry it in your case.
