how many people have you fit in your hatch?
Due to some shitty circumstances, i had to carry 4 other people in my hatch last night for about an hour ride. and when they were in teh car with my, i was hearing some really wierd rubbing/grinding sound coming from my back wheels..
i wanted to know how much weight can stock shocks take @ stock height, before the whels rub the fender? cause that is what i'm assuming was happening..
have any of you guys had or seen that problem before

it really depends on waht condition your stock shocks/springs are. If they are really old and weak they might sink that low. Check your tires for any slashes or marks, if you find any that go all the way around the tire then it was rubbing on your fenders, if not then it wasnt and it was probly something else makin the noise.

I've had 6 people in my car at once for a short period of time, back end was draggin and I'd have to go super easy around corners or the fender liners would rub the tire and make a loud squeal. It also would squeal with one fat person or two regular people back there if I took any turns too quick. That's without any extra weight in back either, no spare... my tires were too wide for the offset of the rims.
I've also had 3 people and 3 BMX bikes in my car at the same time, but one of the people was my gf's little brother who fit between the bikes in the back and the ashtray/middle area.

5 rats, 4 chickens, 3 fat girls, 2 aliens and a donkey. Yeah it was a strange night, luckily I cant remember what happened so I cant tell you if I was scraping or not.

I had 9 people including myself in my VX a long time ago. We only had to drive for 7 blocks to get some pizza and it was nuts. Everyone was too lazy to walk and I never wanted to make more than 1 trip

I've had 11 people in my stock 93 cx with 13" steelies and stock shocks(original equipment from 93) when i first got it to see what it would look like lowered...3 of the guys were 300+ pounds. Needless to say it was dumped.....

Re: how many people have you fit in your hatch? (blkgti)
most ive had is 7 (did that a few times in highschool)
me driving 2 in the pass seat and 4 in the backseat with the hatch packed with bags/backpacks/junk/sub box
the worst ive had though was 5 people, 3 snowboards, and a hatch full of bags/backpacks/junk
this is all with a ~2" drop in an ef hatch (ef = less clearance than eg)
the snowboard trip was the worst cuz this girl's explorer broke down so we had to pack everything in my civic and then it was like a one hour drive each way on terrible roads
