The stock Si's suspension, and that of pretty much any other passenger car on the market, is made to handle both the weight of passengers, and of bumps in the road. You don't need to "upgrade" your suspension because of these things.

You can either not bottom out with stock stuff, or look "cool" and be a pain in the *** of your passengers. "Upgraded" suspensions will just be stiffer, and almost definitely more uncomfortable for everyone.

No, if you were going off-roading, that would be the right time to be asking about a strong suspension.

What you want and what you think you need are two different things.
