H&R springs... any rubbing during heavy load?

i'm planning to have H&R sport springs installed soon... for those who already have them, any rubbing or issues during heavy load, like when carrying 4 passengers and some cargo?

If you're running stock tires without any spacers, I don't think it'll rub. But 4 passengers + cargo might be weight down the car enough to bottom out and hit the bump stop occasionally. Avoid rough roads just incase

Had to on with spacers front and rear for about 4000 miles. Moved houses in it loading it up a lot and have taken 4 with no issues at all. No need to worry.
