Considering to Swift Springs

Im a proud owner of a GD3, im cosidering to buy Swift Springs because i can't afford for a coils.. i read about the Swift Springs that they fit well with everything stock, my Fit has 74k of mileage so i think i will need to replace the stock shocks for new ones.. i have the stock tires/wheels.. but theres my question: my Fit is a daily drive i just use it for college/work and i live in Dominican Republic but the streets here are not good, sometimes i carry 4 people so, these springs will be good here? they can bear 4 people?

Thanks, I'll wait for some answers.

I rode around with stock shocks and Swift springs for awhile but they are a poor match even though Swift claims their springs will work with stock shocks. That results in poor dampening and bottoming out. Then I replaced the stock shocks with Koni STR orange at all four corners and now love it. Its a compliant though firm ride. Well worth it.
