bet that handles shit compared to a car 40mm 
when you go around a corner hard the camber of your wheels will be shite and less rubber to road coverage meaning lack of grip.

My yellow one was good around most corners and that was bumpstops...
I really would NOT advise people to go that low and drive fast around corners on public roads, they are just not smooth enough, will hit a pot hole or uneven ground...back end will jump...bye bye saxo and driver!
