get some coilovers if you can afford them, then you can go as low as you want (within limitations) and if you dont like it you can change it

nah man. 60mm is too impractical for me. nuff speedbumps round here. 40mm is gotta be the way forward for me i think. will i need to change dampners aswell on the 40mm eibach kit? or will standard gsi dampners do? still need pics though

chassis dynamics -30mm springs, Koni sport dampers.



front splitter catches on most speed bumps but luckily it's flexible
