do you reckon dropped 60mm on 15's is too low to drive over speed bumps? i need to drive over them to park at uni, theres hundreds! lol plus i have the oem mudflaps, will these get ripped off?

not if you slow right down and crawl over them, you should be fine

unless the speed bumps are quite short and your wheels can sit either side of them, then you may scrub

Nice looking Polo, same colour as mine

Problem is when people lower their cars and then try and burn me off me i can hit the bumps at 40+ with out too much worry and the lowered car looses various body parts.

With lowering i would try and work out how many journeys involve a speed bump and go for a drop dependant.

i agree, i never plan on getting 17's. i dont wanna play with the arches and i dont want 4x4 look. i currently have 15's on my polo. its lowered 30mm all round....... i know........ not low enough. so i decided, im going to get height adjustable coilovers and then get some 16s and see how it looks. ill keep playing with the height till it looks good. i need new wheels regardless as mine are quite badly curbed unless i see about getting them refurbished.

if i can ill get some pics of mine. i didnt even bother with lexus lights as everyone has them, i went straight for LED lights. they cost more but they look amazing and people cant help but to admire.
