yeh, anything over 50mm should get uprated shocks tbf, also the shocks improve the handling abit :)

you could go 70mm on standard shocks,but there is a chance the spring would dislocate from the shock which wouldnt be a pretty site,these springs are under immense tension!

is 50mm definately safe tho on standard shocks? i dont want them wearing out fast coz my springs av put them under constant strain

mmm but you have a VTR n so does that other guy, mines only a 1.1 so will that make a difference to my max possible lowering with srpings only?
