If you lower 40-50mm you still get good comfortable ride and good looks, slamming it to low will make it look good but you lose all the comfort. The springs (in my opinion) is your own choice, you basicly get what you pay for. Hope this helps

35 front and 40 back is fine, my new vtr is on 17s and is down that far....you should be ok...might need to take the front arch linings out..but might not, depends on the tyres your running.....

try 45 on front. as ther ewill still be alot of room in thr arches on front. lower maybe 40 on rear? if the wheels are really wide it will rub .ive got 7 j wide wheels on amy 1.1 with vtr kit.down 100mm on rear with 17's no rubbing . handles like a tractor. id say 45 upfront 4o rear.
