No...I don't think it can sense if someone is sitting in the back.

So if 2 people were to get in the back before I started the car and the back was lower, would the car sense the levels were off and inflate the rear bags to make the car level with a load in the rear?

Or is it safer to just raise the car when 4 people are in it?

If the load on car gets heavier sensors automatically adjust height back up....thats what height sensors are for so yes it does

If you fill your trunk with heavy suitcases or sand bags the car automatically raises

Great, thanks! I was hoping this was the case, if not my car would be tucked to the rim.

Just got new wheels and drop.. this was the only thing I was worried about.

@S500- what dampener setting do you use? My car is low like yours, when I was stock, I always used Sport 2, but now I like Sport 1 better. What do you use?

The wheels were customs that my buddies company made. He's taking some good pictures for his website tomorrow, so I'll wait for good pics.

I have I phone pics lol. Basically 20x9.5 semi-concave front, 20x11 super-concave rears, brushed satin mesh faces and polished lips. So sick!

Also, did you guys get alignments after? My car is low, but gets REALLY low on the freeway. Not sure what to do.. the ride is pretty choppy.

Im using a carlsson ctronic smart lowering module which automatically raises car to lowest stock height when going over 80 and also adjust based on road conditions bumpyness etc.

My car is lowered via Star it's not the lowest VS. other elm/links/washer but lowest Star setting my car would take and my my ride is dead on no shake no shimmy just road feel and look sick when rolling @ hwy speeds. make sure you the right offset for wheel et25,20,15, or may need a alignment camber adjusted just IMHO.......
