In your experience so far, what is the capacity for the Bilstein/H&R setup to handle weight added to the rear (trunk and/or heavy passengers)? Does the rear end stay level?
As an example, I recently went to the Garden Materials Yard to buy some small-sized gravel -- and ended up getting 8 bags at 65lb/29.5kg each. So I stuffed 520lb/236kg in the trunk

Well, as it happens, I too went to pick up some gardening stuff this spring and bought 250 kg of dirt, 50 kg of fertilizer and a whole bunch of other stuff, couldn't fit everything to the trunk.

I didn't notice the rear sagging a bit and the car rode as if there was no load on board.

Marvellous!

Henkka
