Evenging all....
on the subject of lowering again.....i have noticed on a few gems that when theyve been lowered 2 inch alround, the back sits a bit higher than the front. If i were to lower the front 1.5inch, which i intend to do, how low would i want the arse lowered to make the front and back even??
cheers......Tim |

Should be right with 2" at the back, but thats just a guess.
Maybe a 2.5"? |

Cheers for the reply Matman, hoping maybe some of the old hands might have experience with this.
I was thinking if I lowered 1.5 at the front to lower the arse 2 inch. im not sure tho.
cheers again |

Are you cutting springs, or putting in aftermarket ones?
If cutting, size the rear ones so that that distance from the centre of the hub to the guard lip is the same as on the front , around 320mm probably or close to it.
If using aftermarket, they usually dont go that fine, ie 1 inch increments or thereabouts, so if the front is lowered 2 inches, use 2 inch lowereds for the rear also. |
