What kind of midget adults are you going to get to fit 3 in the back?

I have Koni FSD and Eibach Sport springs and my rear is actually higher than my front by a 1/2" and with two adults in the back it's fine.

I have this setup but have not had 3 adults in the back. I have however had a lot of weight in there, probably 3-400lbs with no issues.

....You need to check that Neuspeed offer a spring which is appropriate to use with KoniFSD's, otherwise you could have serious problems. The FSD's can't work properly if you are lowered too much. I know someone who had a failure and spun badly as a result!

....Excellent. Firm but not harsh and just softens the hard edges off most bumps. I've done about 25,000 miles on them including high speed 130 mph plus (GPS reading). Good idea to buy some sway bars as well to complete the suspension package (well, almost complete it).

Excellent, I'll have to check that out. Driving in the Bay area on the 280 and 85 right now is really bumpy. When I talk on the phone my voice sounds like someone is rapidly hitting me in the back.

....You'll still feel the bumps but not quite as harshly - It obviously depends on the nature of the bumps and your speed over them! KoniFSD's are fitted as stock to some of the supercars - Lambo and Mercedes. They are a good road rather than track shock.
