I think the front of my car is lowered around 50-60mm as the splitter has been removed but it still scrapes on certain speed bumps. Any opinions on that?

Horrible ride too, feels every bump and magnifys them!

Think the back is standard - looks stupid really as the front looks good but the arse end is presenting itself to the world.

Front shocks only been on the car for two months but will be coming off when its back on the road as i would like a more sensible lowering (30-40mm all round) and alot more emphasis on handling and comfort.
Roll eyes

Yeah 55 profile. I struggle to get my hand in the tread through the arch they are so tight!

Blue springs but no mention of the make on the invoice!

Gives a better picture on flat ground as that is a sloped driveway. Its in the garage now though so dont have any pics!

Looks about the same as mine at the front... so yep, around 50/60 sounds about right. Can't really tell with the back though, with it being parked on a slope. Have to agree the ride is horrible at that height LOL 30mm seems like a reasonable compromise

New question, maybe an obvious one but if the front is lowered quite harshly and the back is standard, wont the back end drive the front of the car down a bit so it catches on speed bumps somewhat?

Could explain my problems a little!
