Sport suspension lowers car only 20mm so it should cause many extra touch downs. Personally I curse my self not to took it!

What do you mean by the "extra touch downs"?

Me too. I worry about those low kerbs when backing into a parking lot, especially with a body that is 30-40mm lower. Do I need to fit some cameras at both ends of the car too?

You don't have to worry too much about that. I have got sports suspension; touch wood; so far no prob with that.
I'm more worried about scratching my rims than anything else.

If you lower your ride, anywhere you go and park, first rule will be to reverse in so head in will be a no no. I am still on normal suspension but with M-kit, one day i forget to do reverse parking i scrap the lip. As for the back the stock bumper is pretty high even you lower 20mm so no worry.
Also on steep short slope such as open car park across Orchard Point, scraping bottom of front apron is gurranteed there.
