You don't want to go below 130mm on the front rails for road use IMHO. That will clear most speed bumps at low speed.

Like you I hit my sump hard on saturday [on a bleeding loose cats eye] but my sumps steel so it only dentedbiggrin
It's the first time I've hit it real hard, and I always have the wife with me in the 7 whilst blatting on Welsh 'B' roads. Til now I've set the sump clearance to 80mm [3.1/4"] but when I get my engine fixed I intend resetting to 85mm easy with adjustable front platform shocksthumbup
hope this helps
