   40mm is a safe height to drive around with... shouldn't have any issues with speedbumps etc.

    both mine have been 50 on 16s (the 1.1 has raised a tad due to stripping lol)
    
    but they were both fine tbh
    only had 1 'problem' being as i had a lower brace
    so couldnt park up a kerb (passenger wheels on pavement) as it dragged along the curb
    
    you should be fine

    Ive had 2 saxos had 1 at 40 which was good for everyday. But the second
    was 60mm front and low as it would go rear and it was like glue on the roads.
