i really want to lower me corsa 40mm on 17's pics are below




but am worried that if a do i'll not be able to clear speed bumps (as there are loads where i live) as I can only just do it now especially with people in. i will also invalidate the warranty on me powerflow backbox.

what have you guys done? a know there's some people on her with full kits, 17's and lowered, do you's find that its a problem or not???

thanks

i have -45mm lowered on 14's with no probs so you extra 'height' from road due to 17's will cause no probs aslong as wheels are correct ET and arches debolted
