I've had 4 people in the car ... a lot heavier than mentioned ... and didn't experience anything like that. I've also carried about 500lbs worth of servers in the trunk without issue.

In fact the ride got noticeably smoother over everything. I did get some suspension bottoming over speed bumps though.

For what it's worth, I pulled my 19" CH's off this weekend and I've been driving around with stock 162s. The suspension doesn't keep up with the heavier 162 nearly as well. But it's been so long since I was on 162/ZHP that I don't remember what that feels like.

Either way, the day I went from CH back to 162 the ride got awful. Not harsh, just not very controlled. Ripples make the car skip around where they didn't used to. Sharp impacts make the whole car shudder, again, where they didn't on the 19" CHs.
