I was curious if anyone has any experience with lower springs and whether or not they reduce cargo capacity.

Right now I am running Bilstein's with the IPD rear cargo springs. This is a total improvement over stock. I can load up the car to the gills and it won't sag in the back.

My only complaint is that the front springs are a bit soft and sloppy. You get a little bounce on undulating pavement. There's only so much that the Bilsteins can compensate for this. Before the Bilstein's you could get sea sick. I'm not sure what my options are. It would seem ludicrous to put stiffer lower springs on just the font. If I put them all around I'm concerned about losing the cargo capacity.

Any thoughts.
