my darling mother is police officer  and i agree they are there for a reason but why damage cars! they remove them and put them back correct height! fair enough to have them but some routes i could not even take in my corsa at 40mm all round lowered and i think thats just wrong. OH and department of transport say they should not exceed 75mm but max of 100mm
