Lowered MX5? Should you avoid this???

[MX5-SP]

Depends what you mean by handling. It might not be able to handle speed bumps as well, but it will be able to handle corners even better.
I find the stock ride height a bit too monster trucky, as slow as it is, its still a sports car and should be low and look sleek.

...right, I think see your problem ...you ride shot-gun for AJ as a side-line?


...oh, come on....check your tyre pressure first.

...otherwise buy a Holden, then you will have something to complain about.

...is it JUST ME?

I am with MX5sp. Speed humps are a fact of life in many parts of Melb. My estate is surrounded by them and negotiating is bad enough with std height. Remember the Top Gear story of the guys trapped in the car park because of the steep gutter- embarrassing at the least. 30 humps a day and its no fun!

30 humps a day and its no fun!

Whoa! We're talking about the wrong type of humps if 30 a day isn't fun

How high are the bumps in melbourne? My car is 15cm lower than stock and I have no problems, just go slow.
lol that was classic, had to dismantle the front lip of the Zonda.
Should you buy a lowered car? depends where you live, otherwise buy a ferrari and you will be fine.

Wait hang on thats not right. Whats the stock height? lol 1.5cm lower than stock. That doesn't sound enough though, anyway its 100mm from the ground to the jack points and 300mm from hub to fender. Whatever that equates to.
