TL;DR: Do not exceed 827 lbs (375 kg) maximum (passenger & cargo) payload as specified on our owner's manual page 11-4.

I recently learned the hard way that compact cars don't have much payload (i.e. carrying capacity), including our Evo X. I was moving heavy household items and stuffed the Evo full. Well, that easily exceeded the maximum payload, and the damaged struts aren't cheap to replace.

827 pounds are merely (a) four 180-pound adults, or (b) two 180-pound adults plus 400 pounds or so of luggage. I speculate that the Ohlins Road & Track coilovers could be ever-so-slightly better for carrying payload (10kg/mm vs factory KYB/Bilsteins' 3.5kg/mm front spring rate). However, if you have heavy payload to carry, do it the right way and load them onto a pickup truck.
