   will probably catch tbh
   
   i remember someones lowered 40mm and catches on speed humps etc
   
   if you have a decent suspension setup though i wouldnt thought it would be too much of a problem

   if you don't fly over bumps it should be fine
   
   much depends on the stiffness of the springs.

   How do you think they would fair up with the B8's and eibach sports kam?

   I've driven a saxo with that setup and it was fine. Don't drive over big kerbs though but day-to-day no problem at all

   they do make a big difference. With road suspension its more noticable than the top one but both are needed.
