Speed humps, Do they clear them ok

[steve5]

I havnt had chance to use the Noble much yet:-( i have a Morcos LM500 which is always close when it comes to clearing the humps, How do the Nobles clear them??? i have looked at the LM and the Noble which as much less clearence on the sills & without giving it a carfull try out it seems a no no.
Maybe the humps are bigger in York :-)

I use mine as a daily drive and never had a problem, just have to treated them with respect.

The clearance is about 10cm (4 inches)

hope this helps

I had an LM500 coupe before getting the Noble - the latter is much lower at the front and you have to be very careful. You could take the front splitter off or fit one made from sheet plastic to gain more ground clearance. In terms of performance, handling, road holding and stability the Noble is on another planet compared to the LM it`s way way better - and so is the build quality.

I was forever scraping the front on speed humps etc. But now I've not got a front splitter I hardly ever do any more.

Do you have a front splitter attached? If so, and you do ground out, then grind the lower lip off a few mills at the centre and all will be well. Despite looking very low the Noble does clear humps rather well. My council loves the fekkers - and appears to hate drivers

Agree with most of the above, Still think the LM sounds nicer and maybe as more presence on the road? The Noble deffo wins on the handing/Stability/speed/braking, With that in mind i have just fitted the LM with Protech shocks on all four corners with up-rated springs,polly bushes all round & also a Quaife ATB diff :-)
The Noble's fitted with a 3 piece c/f splitter, I suppose the safest way over them is putting one wheel over at a time if that makes sense;-) (The smaller single humps)
