Speedbumps ain't too back. Scuff my front splitter and sometime catch the plastic tray underneath. And also the little mud flaps infront of the rear wheels.
I avoid the smaller speedbumps where your wheels go either side as it can't really get over most of them. I go inbetween if I have to.
Kerbs are fine just take it slow. If they're huge obviously stay away :lol:

I didn't like them but they are cheap and fairly easy to do. So there is not much to lose??? They are indeed low and look great :thumbsup:
 
FK's on mine when I bought it and I think they're fine.

They are low and I wouldn't want it as my daily drive, but for Sundays no problems at all.

Looks great :thumbsup:

I've got 19's on mine and I think I might have rubbing issues as the wheels stick out quite a bit :(

£55 is a bargain thou
 
I had rubbing issues with mine on the FK springs. But i have M wheels and they dont really fit our cars at all. As they rubbed with the standard suspension. They are very cheap and worth a try i didn't like them but loads do?

Depends on the spring rate. My wheels don't rub but as MM said, they're cheap enough to give a try and if you're handy with a spanner then the only cost is the springs and your time.

Thats with 8.5x19'' fronts and 10x19'' rears. Didn't rub when driving, but had to have the skinny tyres on the rear. I say skinny, but they were still 235/35's.

Ben, that back end is just gorgeous!! (The car I mean!)

I've had FKs for well over a year too and found them great. Tyre choice is key though with going this low to stop rubbing, as Ben said.
I've got Coilovers though to replace mine as I think my shocks are about to give up!!

looks awesome, I put 235s on the back originaly but panicked everytime I pushed it corner so put 255s 35 on! Think ir might scrub somewhat

I have 255s on the rear of mine. It just depends on offsets i guess. Also get the arches rolled you might have to trim the plastic liner?

Might just get away with 255's tbh. 265's were definitely a no go for mine. I sold them on as they started rubbing at 75mph.
