Just wondering if a 60/40 drop (like that achieved by fitting the H+R cup kit) results in problems navigating speed bumps etc? I want to lower my car, but if I'm going to be constantly worried about my exhaust and sump every time I go shopping at Sainsburys - I'll just get some H+R 35mm lowering springs and bilsteins.
Cheers,
Ciara.

I think that 60mm on the front may cause you problems now and again with the m-tech front valence.

My cars 60/40, looks awesome, but the sump scrapes somtimes, you just have to know when to take it easy, ive got an IS lip to so it can be a bit dodgy on the front, but its mainly if i go into a drive, or petrol station to quick and bottom out.
It shouldnt be that bad tho!!
Oh btw willow, this wednesday theres a little brighton meet, you fancy going?

I think I'd rather not worry about scrapping the underside of the car whatsoever
35mm drop should be fine for me, I suppose it won't be as noticeable though?
Cheers folks
