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 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?

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.

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.......
