I have issues with my center silencer catching speed humps but if you take em slow and correct its not that much of a problem... Im prolly raising the rear to 40mm to get more weight over the front wheels to aid traction on launch and will be a smoother ride too...

60 at the front is fine, but don't expect to go over bumps at any speed.
I've not got coilovers on and had it set at about -70mm or more (cheers Dan ) looked sweet, but the tyres scrubbed on the arches every time you blinked.
Up another inch or so and it's great - handling is spot on and you can just sail over speed bumps!

Adam - Quote "watch out for lift off oversteer on the twisties...i have a similar setup and its a bit twitchy "
Well when I say 40mm I mean I want it about your height... I.e 20mm above what I am ATM - if you look the top of my rims they are level with the rear arch so its prolly a 70-80mm drop with the ICE on mine at the rear! Going to manufacture my own rear spring adjusters much like FK's style...
