rx8 + body kit + speed bumps =??

Hello, I'm planning on ordering a Mazdaspeed body kit and Eibach Lowering Springs for my stock rx8. The only problem is, in my neighborhood there are quite a few speed bumps, also at my school, and when I pull into my driveway there is also a little speed bump to go up it.

how well would my car do with that?

depends on the height of the bump and the grade.

you can very easily screw up the sideskirts with stock springs, so ....

I have the MS kit and scrape my front bumper on steep slopes more than the side skirts. I am at stock ride height right now though.

yeah with the kit and springs you will need to b alot more careful about where you go and for speed bumps prob going over them at an angle will b the best way to get over them.....this also goes for any incline like going into a driveway.
