Passangers in your car....
How often do you guys have 4 passengers in your car?
Mainly people in your back seats.
I'm asking because my car rides great and handles great with me and a front passenger... Once I have 2 extra people in the back, on hard dips and bumps my tires rub the fenders.
Thinking of raising the rear slightly.
Car is on KW V3s
245 35 19 front
275 30 19 rear

I have the same problem on the passenger rear with my HRE when I have rear passenger, and drives fast on big dips.
You can always go down in your tire size if you dont want to raise your car. I'm running 275/30 but I know the 265/30 will solve my problem.

I have 4 adults riding on a regular basis. I get some rubbing on bumps but nothing too bad anymore. I had the suspension adjusted about two months ago. It's amazing what 1/2" does.

I treat my lovely baby as if its a coupe... if that tell you anything. No passengers unless they are a midget or little person...I'm not as sick like Sincity or Roswell not to drive my car more than once a week ( I still think they have mileage under 10K) , but I found that the ONE time I had passengers in the back, they kicked and scuffed the **** out of my nice seat backs on my '09....screw rubbing...I'm more worried about dimples in my leather and scuffed seat backs...

Yeah, but what kind of suspension are you running?
I'm on H&R coilovers with rim size 20x8.5 and 20x9.5 with 235/30/20 tires in the front and 285/25/20 in the rear. I get almost no rubbing with 2 passengers now and a little bit more with 3. 4 is more frequent, but I can deal. 5 is a totally different story.

I bought the sedan (instead of BS) because I frequently have two adults in the back. I hate opening the door and tipping the seat back so they can get in and out.
I'm stock and haven't had any issues. The car seems to squat more on hard accelerations with two in the back compared to no one in the back.
My car is only four passenger. I'm missing the middle, female seat buckle.

I'm running HR springs. I had 5 passengers once, but I barely remember how it was.

It's mainly my passenger rear as well.. I think I need to raise it ever so slightly more over the driver rear.... I think it's the extra weight of the battery in that area.

Quit a few nights I'll have 4 and 5 passengers, always one guy in passenger seat but sometimes also 1 in back. Don't notice much rubbing on dips but it's happened, I have v3s also.
