speed bumps...
well my car has been dropped by 40mm and when its just me, sometimes with a passenger as well in the car i can just about creep over then but any more than that and the car will crape. just wondering if any one knows how i could possibly avoid this? because im not sure what i could do with out raising it up again
cheers

i am on 15" alloys with 45tyres and mine dropped 60-70mm on coilovers and it doesnt grind out on spped bumps with 2 passengers, just have to go over on the angle and very slow,
the other thing i would say is have alook at your exhaust under the, some hang down on the corner near the back , i held mine up on an axle stand to the car floor when i put it on so that the exhaust sits as high as possible so it doesnt catch on speed bumps.

Jonezy :what size wheels and tyres you got. were the springs new or 2nd hand?
what shocks are you using and how old are they
i've got 15's on 45's all of the springs were new when i got them, they are apex springs and they are about a year and a half/ 2 years old now i think
