Right, my sax has been lowered 50mm all around....
im after getting a lower strut. how much scraping would i get, if any at all.

has anyone got any pics of a lower strut on a sax that has been lowered 50mm. I basically wanna know what sort of clearence i would get.

Have you lowered your sax on stiffer shocks too? tht will help with it not bottoming out as low!

My quiksilver is dropped 50mm on front with a lower brace on, only caught it coming over a bump abit fast! just scraped it mainly!

No its just on springs i think, but the ride is wuite hard, so may be on stiffer shocks. Need to check really!
do you have any pics of it on your Quicksilver?

I havnt at the moment sorry, but you will have about 4" of ground clearance which is enough not to scrape tbh!

do you just take it easy over speed bumps?
have you ever got to one and thought...."oh s**t, this is going to be close"

I was gunna ask the same thing as i'll be doing the same.

All speedbumps in the uk should be a regulation height of 50mm so provided you go easy you won't catch on much.. I'm gunna try it anyway.
