   Ok im not sure if this is in the right section or whatever.
   
   Anyhoo, i want to lower my saxo 35mm. The road where i live has quite a few speed bumps and i just wanted to know if i was going to have any problems, because i dont want to end up scuffing the underneath of my car??
   
   Thanks for any replies in advance.

   I'm running 15's and am down 40mm. Can get over pretty much every speed bump around, even the monsters. It does scrape gettin in and out of the driveway thou.

   I'm 40mm at the front and slammed at the back I have to slow right down for the bumps or drive over both if that makes sense.
   
   The moral of the story is you can get over them but slowly however 35mm drop shouldn't pose any problems.

   You shouldn't have any problems unless you hit at a bump at some ridiculous speed!!! Hehe!
