Mine was alright 60mm down but I did scrape the exhaust a little bit on one speedbump into a local shop Oh, and did have to turn an exhaust clamp round on its side so the ends of the threaded bits didn't scrape on the same bump. Was fine other than that

mine was 60mm all round, Exhaust rattled off the axel but I sorted that with rubber attached to the axel, I think 60mm is perfect and is probably the height I will go for on any of my future cars.

You must just be unlucky or don't keep your eyes on the road enough

fronts about 60 on mine rears about 70 (60mm with adjusters out) and no issues other than tyre to arch but thats due to wheel fitment.
Never had issues underneath. Roll on low pros and lowerrr!
