   Depends what the speed bumps are like in your area etc. I've got one on mine which is 35mm down on 15" wheels. It's fine as long as you take your time over speed bumps.
   
   Been close to getting rid of it with the snow we've had though - it's a right pain in the arse when there's raised bits of slush/ snow in the middle of the road. Those big lumps of frozen slush aren't soft either. I'm surprised it's still straight.

   I had one and I was down 60mm. Never had any real problems. Just avoid the speed pillows really

   sorry for hijack but I'm on 16's does this mean I'd be a bit higher than 15's? Tyres are 205-40-16's if it matters?
