Evo X's maximum cargo payload
 
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. :p

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.
