It is not just the height of the speed bumps but also the angles on them the steeper they are the more your suspension will bounce when you come off them.

I think that speed bumps are supposed to be no higher than 4'' but this may not always be the case.
About 6'' clearance should be okay if you go steady.

All depends on the height of the speedhumps.

I find the lowest point is the bacbox [or front splitter if fitted]

Cheers for the responses. Think there is about 9cm clearance at the moment, sounds like it may need to be changed to 10cm to be on the safe side.
