   was thinking maybe going 50-55mm on the back! not sure if its with all but myne seemed to sit higher on the back before front suspension was lowered... might even be a bigger arch on the rear not sure...?!!!

   measure the distance from the ground to the bottom of the sideskirt next to the front wheel then adjust the back to suit. how hard was the front to do im gonna lower mine next week. when youv done the back you could tell me how that went too mate

   Proper method, torsion bars out, measure your height and reinsert.
