deepeds on how big the speed bumps are as they all seem to be different. should be fine, if not just change it to a 40mm drop.

iv had 4 people in the back, car lowered roughly 60 on the back on VTS rims and had no issues with rubbing. just my backbox scraping occasionally but thats only cos its mahoosive.

up to you really mate, depends what the roads are like around your area. I thought the bumps around my area were pretty bad, but ive seen many loww cars go over them no trouble, so its up to you if you want to risk it, you can always higher it ! does look the bee's knee's down 60 ;)
