just go -60, you won't get any scrubbing but speedbumps may be an issue

i'm down -40 all round with an offset of 35 on the wheels and the only time i get scrubbage is when the car's full.

mine is dropped 60 mm all round on apex springs, even when i had the standard steel wheels on it had no problem with bumps or dips,handleing is greatly increased aswell, budget option, but works well, you will be disapointed with a 40mm drop, not half as low as you would think

a 40mm drop won't be as good as a 60mm in terms of looks, but handling is better on a 40mm drop

mine is dropped 60mm on 15s 195/45/15 no scrubbing at all even when car is 5 up. i live in probably the most speed bumped town in the uk and have no probs as long as i go slow over them.

speed bumps are fine aslong as you dont go 20+ over them but that could be said about a standard car
