| Who is lowered up to 40mm with no alloy sump? I have been looking at lowering my car 35-45 mm on coilovers (Undecided how far) as the eibach springs dont look low enough for my tastes. However, have not done so because I am worried about the sump guard being only thin plastic. Do any people have their car lowered this far with no alloy sump guard? If so, how far is it lowered, and for how long has it been that low? any hits or scrapes??? Cheers Stu Hating the fact alloy sump guards are in such short supply!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

| Re: Who is lowered up to 40mm with no alloy sump? how low are you now? So going on normal roads and driving sensibly 40mm should be ok?
