   Just a few questions. Looking at lowering the VTR rather soonish with springs. For a 60mm drop are shorter shocks certainly needed? What's the downside of running just he springs on standard shocks)
   
   Thanks guys in advance!

   im running standard shocks on a 60mm drop and i aint really had any problem, it just makes the shocks life a little shorter, lol, the shocks can be a lil soft but there ok if you on a budget, Oggy

   60mm the dampers will defo be bottomin out so they wouldnt last 5 mins and they would be fucked ! i done this when i was younger and both shockers were fucked and the steerin feels rattly, best upgrading the dampers mate !
