   If i was to get the same springs as riggsy has, the eibach sportline kit, would it drop more on a vts than a vtr cause of engine difference. Or would they drop the same, not really sure on engine weights?

   it would drop more on a vts, so if you put it on your vtr it would be higher, but i dont think its that much difference between them

    vts head weighs a good 10kg more, than abs, more airbags etc.
    
    5-10mm difference. BUT if you think about it they use same std springs so in effect even if a vtr won't look as low as a vts on same springs it will still be lowered by the same amount.
    
    i can hear those cogs turning
