Ground clearance problems with a TKO?

Ive heard that ground clearance can be an issue with the TKOs because they hang down a bit. How bad is it?

There's just one part of the casting of the case that hangs lower than the crossmember. Crossmember is spaced down from the frame 3/4" to fit it in there.Drags on speed bumps if I take them too fast. My car is lowered over 1-1/2".
The trans is pretty tall compared to the T5. Also since it's mounted vertically instead of at the angle the T5 mounts at, makes it a pretty tight fit.
It hasn't really been much of a problem, though.
