   Does anyone have a guide on how to lower the back end, recently had to change the back axle (which was lowered) and now it needs re doing as it looks ridiculous with the front low and the back looking as though it's on stilts!
   Thanks

   Nice one mate!
   it won't be me personally doing it
   my friend is a "mechanic" so he'll be having a whack at it!

   Hey guys just wondering if a 60mm drop in the front and 50mm in the back would be too much?? or should i go ahead with that? Cheers for any suggestions or tips!
