I think Joolz is your man for this.

Are you sure this is nothing to do with the suspension upright factory recall? - might get em fixed for nowt.....

If you re going to spend the money replacing them, try AVO. I changed mine to an adjustable set, it now runs about 1-1.5" lower and handles (and looks) much better for it, especially at the back end which is now much more solid.

I'm curious to know where you drive your cerb. My 4.5 has the standard suspension and its hard enough getting over some of the steeper sleeping policemen as it is. 1 to 1 1/2" lower and I would be scraping the sump!!!

I only have problems with the back end of the exhaust catching speed bumps sometimes and some raised bits roads will wallop the bottom. I have sports exhausts so I think they are smaller than the normal silencers at the back so it's not too bad, although they are getting a bit flat.
Reversing into driveways seems more difficult than driving in to them. I'll hopefully have some pics soon.

An update on lowered suspension-
Had to have one of the exhausts replaced today as it got a bit twisted. I got to have a good look underneath.
Not a mark on the sump but plenty on the bottom of the body work. I'm investigating having an aluminium or steel sump guard made just in case.

Worth doing, as I cracked mine open on a rock in the road. It was an engine out job to fit a new one. They don't just drop down like on most cars.
