Default Clearance after GF-210?

I'm on stock height right now planning on dropping with Tanabe GF-210 (1.0" F/1.2"R) and was wondering if I will be able to get over the speedbump, and the slope leading to my house. Wise inputs appreciated, thx!~

Can't compare lowering a WRX to lowering a Z.

But yeah, you'll be fine.

Thx all.

I need to know how to get over it still though.

There are 2 separate speed bumps, and in-between the speed bumps is a concaving dip for rain to flow into sewage.

I tried angling it from one speedbump and into the concave dip, but because it's concaved, I ended up almost scraping the front bumper because of the dip.
