Hi mate, my old one was lowered 2 inches, and it just cleared. Obviously I had to slow right down, and on some, I did scrape the exhaust, but the majority were fine.

 

One other thing to think about, do you often carry a few passengers??? If so, you wont make it over most bumps.

 

1 inch is noticable, if you want an idea of the height, all 2.8i's were an inch lower from factory than the other models. My one is standard, and has had a scrape or 2 on certain bumps, but I am putting that down to the Cologne V6 up front which incidentally weighs about as much as a small country mansion

 

Click on my garage to see how my one sits
