Default Long tubes and Lowering Springs= trouble?

I want to lower my car next, but I've heard that long tubes might cause problems.

If I get a 1.5" drop, would I have to worry? I drive over speed bumps all the time so I don't want to be hammering my long tubes.

I have BBK long tubes, and Eibach Pro Kit springs. I have to be carefull over speed bumps, but it's not a big deal. Pro Kit lowers about 1 1/2 inches.

I have long tubes and ford c-springs (1.25 drop), I've only scrapped probably 3 times since january. Speedbumps are no trouble? Looking at it though, they do look low to the ground...

man it really depends on what long tubes and what springs.

To be honest it hurts like someone scratching a blackboard every time you bottom out, but it makes up for it's self when you put your right foot down.
