I had these plastic coils you put in your springs to stop in compressing as much.
They are designed mainly for caravans with a heavy load.
Quite cheap as well, so that may help.

You should be able to get some 16's on and lower it 40mm and still have people in the back. BUT one of your back wheels, or maybe both could rub your arches. If that happens de bolt yor back arches - do a search I'm sure theres something on this...

Go rally slag?
Lightweight 15"s, strip it (can't carry more than 1 passanger anyway then = less weight = more pace ) Your not a fucking taxi!!! Ok, when i was your age and playing, i was actually, and the passanger
Ohh the good old days
