skint at the mo but its on the list, after smashing the standard one on s/bump 1 and a 4.1 being the only option in my price range at the time im sure some could understand

Bit off topic but some speed bumps can be stupid. There is some near me and standard cars almost scrape on them.

I don't get how your Manifold sits so low.
I had a 4-1 Sportex one and it barely sat lower than the bumper line, and I NEVER had any issues with it scraping atall. Even when popping myself up kerbs or whatnot...

The only speed bumps round my area are those like in the picture; a raised bit of tarmac about 5' wide. There's a load of them in Aldershot and the track of my car is wide enough to drive over it without even feeling a bump - completely useless - I don't even need to slow down!

I'd do the same as you've put. Wrong side, aim for 1 and 2 diagonally.
