do you have lowering springs?
You should be fine.. I have a coupe, but a full kit with coilovers with nearly a 2inch drop and I go like 90 on I-10 everyday coming to and from anywhere.... even the bumps are ok... I haven't bottomed out yet thankfully, but unless you just happen to randomly find the perfect ecth in a dip or LARGE bump, you'll be fine, and you should still be ok if you do, you seem to have it secured tightly...
Go for it, try not to worry to much... I did it for so long with my kit... I go over speed bumps at 10-15 mph now, someimtes 20... without going out of a strait line... after a while you begin to know your car, when you scrap it will stick out in your mind.. from experience I know exactly where I am going to scratch on a bump 60 feet ahead of me, and can slow the car to brace for impact..
Don't worry to much, any good driver has a few scrapson the bottom of their kit... it's the practice and the experience that brings you confidence..
Have fun, don't worry, just look for huge bumps... take them a lil slower, until you are comfortable with how the next bump looks like it will hit... !
Good luck..
