Brisbane drivers with 11cm ground clearance?

Just wondering if anyone in brisbane has ground clearance of 11cm,from floor to side skirt. Hows the driving and the speed bumps?

Fulcrum set my monoflex coil-overs up. It sits at the lowest legal ride height with 100mm clearance. No issues so far. And just be aware that Fulcrum found the lowest point of our car to actually be a part of the exhaust, not the body work. Just keep this in mind when lowering so you don't have any issues with the police.
