Just don't want to be scraping the belly over speed bumps and potholes!
I only ask because I run 18/20 stagger (20s all around on the last XF) and just lowered mine a few weeks ago. I have not rubbed once on anything, even at full lock going over a bump. The ride is worse, but the handling is superb, I prefer the latter

Would look even better 1-2 inches lower, but what doesn't?
