   No where near low enough. It needs DROPPED another 50mm or so, IMO.

   I'd say 40mm. Mines 60mm and i struggle with speed bumps. That looks like it's got a bit more clearance than mine.

   mines 50 and sits a little bit higher than that so maybe 55 or 60 at a push sits fine imo

    40mm for a slight drop and clearance issues
    50mm for handling
    60mm for best looks.
