on my mk2.5 on standard suspension I just go over them, even with a passenger it only seems to touch the bottom 1 time in 20 and it keeps the passenger awake 
on the lowered mk1s on meisters.. I do the following..
try and avoid routes with bumps, often towns have at least one way in and out without them.. but if you can't....
canoe everyone else and drop the speed you take them at. your car's precious physical wellbeing is more important than their rushing home in their audi a7 for a quicky canoe with canoesuella or canoes roadshow.
1) canoe the idea that you have to remain on your side of the road. often there is space between the bumps (and might be offset!) you can go through without actually going over/touching a bump. 20mph+ #WINNING
2) if you have to touch a bump have both sides of your car go over different bumps - the bumps are often slanted and you'll expose less of your car's underside to the council's nimby canoe. doable at 5-10mph. you'd be surprised by how much space there is!
3) no space ? no way to do 1/2 ? ok, put one side of your car as far from the bump as humanly possiblepossible and have the other side go over the bump, with as little coming near the under of your car as possible. mix it up, left side, right side. 1-5mph. obviously pull away in first on full throttle until the next speedbump because Canoe you people who live on this road and think speedbumps are good.
your thoughts ? better suggestions ? buy a 4x4 ?

I don't think my 5 is low but I have little choice but to avoid them altogether, if I get caught, I do the same and slow down to a crawl and creep over them and hope for the best. Sometimes I win sometimes I don't which p's me off some what.
