I find no problem with the clearance, sometime you just have to be careful of the front splitter when parking with a kerb in front just in case there isn't enough clearance, other than that I've not had any problems with speed bumps and I've lived in both Sheffield and London and it's been fine.
I've had mine since March '04 I think and I've v.pleased with them, they are a good compromise, the handlings improved and the stance is just perfect.
Getting the shocks changed at the same time would probably be a good idea to be on the safe side but I've been driving mine on the original but I have been told recently that they may be on their way out...
Eibach Springs
For a FULL wheel geometry check/adjustment, eg. Camber, Tracking, Toe (whichever IS adjustable on your car)
Find if there is a Protyre near you, will cost you about £100 but they have modern facilities and they deal mostly with modified cars THEY WILL DO THE JOB PROPERLY

No mate it wont include that, you would be charged a fair wack to have springs fitted if you dont do it yourself/get a mate to help (anywhere from around £200 - £400 
)
There may well be loads of other places that offer a full wheel geometry check cheaper than protyre, but i dont know of any other places that do it.
You need to find out what IS adjustable on your car regarding wheel geometry, (eg. some places might ask if you want 4 wheel laser alignment on a car that only has tracking adjustment on the 2 fronts). So to avoid being ripped off, you need to know what is adjustable on your car and then only book the car in for that.
Most garages make money from people that simply dont know whats involved in a job.

Dunno how cheap these are, but this place has proved to be cheapest for some bits.Mouse_GTI wrote:*BUMP*
Right guys, I've still got the modding bug...wheres the cheapest place online to buy the 50mm springs and possibly upgraded shocks? I take it you can just get some garage to fit them and your done?

Looks a hell of a lot better (as it should have been from the factory) and much less body roll. The ride is firmer at low speeds, but this isn't helped by me being on low profile 16's.
I purchased them Orginally, but never fitted them, went for coilovers, sold them to Phil, phil decided he wanted coilovers and them sold them to you
