I know that it might seem strange ONLY BEING ON 15's, but ive fitted some side skirts and in my area i have a problem with FAR TOO MANY UKFIN SPEED BUMPS. Don't want to lose any paint from the skirts so can i lower 20mm from anyone(shocks plus springs) Ive heard of 30mm plus but does anyone know who does less. Or does is this posible on any adjustable shocks

surely if you had 16's or 17's you would have more clearance over the bumps, i am confused!!! and if you want to lower more than 30mm that makes the problem worse, you can lower it 60mm on 15's i used to have this set up and its LOW

them square speed bumps (in red/burgandy colour) are fine in a corsa as long as you have no big mouth bumper or back end but my skirts won't fit over them. please dont call me wrong might just be my area. but check first before painting
