Default Do I need HD suspension with a rear seat kit?

Hey guys getting ready to order a rear seat kit, do I need the HD suspension kit in the rear too? Looks like my cart is only made to do about 12 mph it's a 2000 club car series 48 volt. Will the seat weight cause it to slow down even more?

I originally didn't upgrade to HD when I put mine on and quickly found I needed to when there was bottoming out. Remember these were made to haul a couple of sets of clubs in the back.

It depends on your passengers. I once saw a family of 4 that was clearly in excess of 1,000 lbs riding on a golf cart. I don’t think it mattered how many leaf springs were on that baby, sumpthin’ was gonna break.

I put them on my cc Ds and it made a huge difference. I am glad I did.

For average use you'll need to add a helper leaf or get some medium duty 2 leaf springs.
The weight of the seat alone exceeds the weight of 2 bags of clubs, plus people weight
is more than stock springs are designed to support.
I'd stay away from 3 and 4 leaf springs cause they'll beat your brains out. If you're carrying 5oo lbs+, then you might want to consider 3 leaf, but when you have no load they ride hard.

I have 4 leaf, but I have tall side wall tires. They ride as good as my friends 2006 with 12 inch wheels and low profile tires.

Most will need a HD kit or at least springs when addings a rear seat.

Not really, just be ready to change out the broken spring where it happens because you can't drive it , Mine had a seat with the single leaf springs, I do haul stuff and turns out springs do break
