Speed bumps arent an issue for me as my car is not that low, but the roads around near me must be some of the worst in the country! Running any sort of low-ish profile tyres, even without a lowered car, results in some horrible banging and crashing on nearly every road you drive down, they're just bodged up everywhere, thats when they actually get round to "repairing" them...

I always wonder how LSO copes with daily life lol. That ting is Hella slammed y0.
My strut brace on my saxo scraped on a couple of bumps at about -30mm. He must have issues at -100mm or whatever it is?
Fair play of you can put up with it, that's too stressful for me haha

Man up and get use to your car getting beaten by speedbumps.
My saxo was about an inch of the floor and I didn't moan once ;)

Do you have bigger alloys? Also could be springs or even the axle.

I'm not really going that fast over them though, that's the thing, they're just like mountains around here.

haha its a right ball ache to be fair, ground clearance is a bastard, the ride comforts the worse part though.
You soon get used to stopping at speedbumps lol

I still have to plan my routes even after raising mine.
Can't wait to get some lower profile rubber on the front so I can drop it even again. I'd live air but would have to sacrifice my system in place of the pumps and that ain't happening!

If i lived down a road with speed bumps i would send the council any tracking alignment etc bills i had and if suspension wore out quicker id send them a bill for that too.
Stupid things, all they do is speed traffic up between them and cause more noise because of them.
Should be outlawed!

Okay with most but the small ones that go between the wheels are the worst as always catch my exhaust!

These are by far the worst! I have to go in between them. All well and good until something comes the other way. Then I have to wait with traffic behind me.

There's some pretty horrific wedges near me. If your car has a long nose, might aswell kiss goodbye to it. I'll get a photo tomorrow. Don't ever go down side roads through nottingham. ;)
