The Fun of having a Slammed Car mate!  Mines the same!
Shouldnt be a problem as long as you take it easy other them! best to just avoid the big bumps tho, but if it worries you buy some 40mm springs!

So its not realy better is it? i mean, it rubs on the cat eyes for god sake!  ..
40mm is better in reality, if your going for somthing REALY low such as the polo then get some airbags to be safe. Then you can drive around at what ever height you like realy without damaging anything
