    going over at an angle keeps u from fucking up ur side skirts and back bumper if they're present...ur front bumper will clear it and be fine unless ur nose-diving right in front of the speed bump or the car is slammed that low. When u go at an angle and slowly...it prevents the car from bouncing and hitting

    spend the money and get a urethane kit(atleast the front and/or skirts). it all depends on the how low the kit sits on the car, suspension, and even the wheels and tires.finding the right combonation of these parts that also satisfy your personal preferances is the key. and yes, taking speed bumps at an angle helps alot.
