Can a car carry five people after installing lowering springs?

It can carry five people, but the comfort will be reduced. Here are the relevant details: Legality of lowering springs: It is illegal. Although the law allows for the replacement of shock absorbers, it does not mean that the vehicle's ground clearance can be altered. Therefore, all types of shock absorbers that can adjust the vehicle's height, such as coilover suspensions, lowering springs, and air suspensions, are illegal. Replacing these parts involves modifying the vehicle's structure. If the traffic police discover during an annual inspection that lowering springs have been installed, the owner will be required to restore the original setup and pay a fine. Pros and cons: The advantage of lowering springs is that they are relatively affordable and beginner-friendly. Additionally, lowering springs generally provide better support for the vehicle body compared to factory springs, and the reduced ground clearance significantly enhances the car's appearance. The downside is that lowering springs are not adjustable, making it difficult to achieve a good balance between daily use and performance. Most importantly, installing lowering springs requires matching them with appropriate shock absorbers, so a good understanding of related products is necessary to create a high-performance suspension system.
