Question Mazda Speed front bumper clearance



According to Mazda Speed the ground clearance level is 131 mm. After lower spring installed 25mm drop (131 - 25) = 106 mm clearance become

106 mm = estimated 4 1/3 inches

For those who has Mazda Speed installed I need your help to answer the following questions :

1) Is 131 mm the correct measure for clearance ?

2) In Singapore what is the height for standard speed trap ?

3) For those driving with this extreme make-over find any problem in Singapore road ?

Me are keen to install MS but ... some reservation need to clear all my doubt

Please advise

The silliest thing is that the road humps aka speed traps are not of any standardised height. But as a guide heavy vehicle carparks have higher humps; which means no matter what kit you will still scratch your kit or worse case get stuck on it when you have a lowered ride.

I think no matter what you will still scratch the front bumper even if its stock; there are just those silly places where the slope is very steep or have both slope and hump.

no prob clearing most carparks with MS bumper and unlowered car, except for poorly designed ones like bugis junction and ikea.

Yes yes. Wait till you get your bonus first before buying any bling for your car.... As one of our members here can attest to it (you know who you are). After your boss see you with such a nice car and nicely zhng somemore.... They might rethink about giving you your bonus.
