How many of you have your back boxes scrapping off speed bumps when there are passengers in the car, after the car has been lowered by 40mm?

This is the car as it is now do you think it is too low as it is scrapping on bumps with passengers?

Depends how low your backbox is hung? Or how bad the speed bump is! Ive knocked mine clean off with just me in the car, but thats because mine is hung stupidly low (Im only 35mm down)

When I first got my backbox fitted it was sitting at a really nice height in the cut out of the bumper, after time it started dropping, I tie wrapped it up and was back to normal
