lowering 30mm
I have to take my rear axle apart, and was wondering do you think I could get away lowering the front with 30mm springs and the rear by 30-40mm without changing the shocks?
1.1 desire btw
thank!

why do you have to take your axle apart? and yes mine was 60mm i believe on std shocks, mine would bottom out easily though but yes entirely possible

Stripping it down to replace bearings etc, see if I can put off buying a recon

unfortunately if you start seeing camber you might be lucky and have caught it but if there are wear on the pins where the bearings sit then its cheaper to get a recon one, i believe the pins are available but not something that you could swap over in your garage...
