Eibach Sportline springs and speed bumps. Any issues?

I'm on the slippery slope :scared: Having now done a few cosmetic mods it's time to move on to the performance mods  :wink: First is Revo stage 1 in the next week or so. That was all I was initially gonna do but now I'm thinking of a Forge Twintake and also getting the car lowered a bit. Coilovers are a bit out of budget at the moment and I'm not sure if I really need them. So I've been looking at the Eibach Sportline springs as they are not that expensive. They should lower the car by about 25mm which will improve the stance. I have a couple of questions though 1. Will this present a problem going over speed humps? I live in an area where there are lots of them. 2. How will they affect the handling as compared to the stock set up? Theoretically there should be an improvement but is this the case? Any feedback from anyone who has fitted Sportlines greatly appreciated.

No issues over bumps, ride feels same as stock :happy2:

I'm on 20mm AP springs, 18x8 wheels and stock dampers. Ride is no harder or rougher than OEM over speed bumps, of which I hit around 40 a regular day  :scared: :sad1:

Thanks for the replies. Sounds like it's worth doing to get the car a bit lower. My only concern with speed humps was whether there would be enough clearance to avoid scraping? Does anyone have any pictures of one that has the Sportline's fitted so I can get an idea of how the stance looks? Cheers.
