Does a Corsa B which has been lowered and got a full combat body kit on it go over all speed bumbs? i dont mean the smooth rounded ones but sometimes you get quite sharp steep ones if you get what i mean. They are usually yellow and black.
I havent actually lowered my car or added the bodykit yet, but I need to know coz im turning 17 v. soon and i want my car soted be4 my b'day and there are those f**king speed bumps at my damn school, will it rub the bottom or what??? Cheers

yeah i have had to have my bumper repaired b4 - was ok for 6 months but i have caught it slightly recently - i have full combat 1 16"s and dropped 40 - can make it over all speed bumps so far but dangerously close when exiting my drive!

I have mine lowered 60mm on 15's and it catches to fcuk on those little pyramid kinda ones, you know the ones normally in pairs like a pyramid with the top chopped off, have to go over 2 at the same time because I only have about 2 inch clearance off my CAT, really could do with some bigger rims..........it pisses me off having to go stupidly slow at times, but then when I let rip on a country road I realise its all worth it.
I can get into my old school and that has some pretty harsh bumps, just go really slowly, if your only dropping 40mm on 17's then you should be alright but dont expect it to go over anything with the kit and small rims.
