yeah if you go over them in the middle it doesnt hit, like one wheel on one block, and the other on the other block, if you go over them straight it hurts :|

i've never had any problems, lowered 75mm. just don't drive at stupid speed's over speed bumps.

if u wanna go 60mm, would recommend getting shocks aswell.

40mm just spring's is ok, not great but ok.

this is just from experience just my opinion.
