On the TTE springs (aka Eibach) you will still be fine with road bumps etc.
Don't forget though, you will need your suspension geometry recovering/resetting after you lower the car, because it will totally change how the car sits. Well worth a trip to WIM to sort that out, especially if your car has never been WIM'd already (but even if it has been, it will need re-doing after a drop).

Most people tend to forget this and talk about "x" mm drop, but that's meaningless because the springs will give you a new fixed ride height - on a very early car this will be a pretty big drop because they rode very high, but on a later car it will be less of a drop.

where can i get the geometry done
can i get it done locally in a garage or do i have to take it somewhere that specifies in this sort of thing
ive got a 2001 Y plate SE

Lexuspat guys this may sound nieve and amaturish
so sorry for that LOL
but where can i find them, so when i do get some springs i can get it done
ive heard people talk about WIM but was never 100% on it
but as they say if you cant ask on a forum where can you
WIM are in Chesham, Buckinghamshire. Their website is here. Like many others, I didn't really believe I'd notice the difference between the OEM setup and the WIM-spec geometry, but I was absolutely amazed at the difference - at the improvement in handling, stability on the motorway etc. It also fixes the notorious inner tyre wear problem, as Woz said.
WIM can fit the springs too if you like, but even if you get someone else to do it, or fit them yourself, then please do get the geometry reset.

rob the tte/eibach lowers the car by 30mm
That's the thing though rob, as I was saying - lowered from what ? The springs will give youa reduced ride height, but the actual drop depends on the ride height of your car before, which differs widely as I mentioned.
