Dropping a sedan with kids...
I need some feedback or opinion before installing my stuff: I have a sedan and I am planning to drop it on ProKit on Tokico D-Spec (I already have everything siting in the garage).
But, it's a family daily-driver... I have 2 kids sitting in the back every day, so let's say 100lbs in the back right now (they are 7 and 3 years old) + a little sub... will it sag too much? I know pro-kit may normally sag a little on an empty sedan but will it tuck when I'll have the kids in the car?
Should I sell the pro-kit and get sleeved coilovers instead?
I guess asking the question is answering to it!!!

don't get coilovers, im sure your kids will not enjoy the the ride. and the prokit is a miminal drop, it wil lbe fine. I have sportlines and tokico hp blues and the sagging isn't that bad even with 100+ pounds of stuff in the trunk.
i have a sedan with prokit springs and kyb agx shocks and the ride is better than stock. the rear hasnt sagged on me yet and my kids are 12-4. youll be fine and very pleased with the new ride comfort

I have a sedan dropped on Nuespeed Sports and Tokico blues and my kids are 9 & 6 and the ride is fine. Even when we all went to Lowe's and loaded the trunk up with about 300lbs of bagged dirt it was fine for a short, albeit slow, ride home. You will be fine.
The prokits are awesome. I have them on my 4dr w/ tokico blues. No sagging at all. And I did a cross country drive a month ago w/ about 800pnds of stuff in my car and there isn't any signs of the rear sagging.
