For those that have cut their stock springs, how many coils would you suggest I cut off if I'm only looking to go a max of 1" lower both front and rear. Also, would it be better to go with the MM spacers or just a regular spacer for the rear?

You are right, they dont make V spefic any more. But you can still find they used every now and then (or maybe new if some company back stocked them). And some have used the regular CTS Sport version springs IIRC.

I had a red 07 zx10r awhile back. Nice bike! I miss it! And the car looks great! Perfect stance! Ill be happy with the H&R's and MM kit. Might run a 275/35 and 245/40 combo instead of the 275/40 and 245/45 combo just to shorten the tire a tad. Seems to make the wheels look a little bigger/better with the shorter tires.
Thanks for the pic!

your welcome!
Yeah I'm still riding on runflats from when I bought it from the dealer which makes the ride bumper. I'm looking forward to getting non-runflats when the time comes but not sure on size yet.

Yeah... runflats suck but they dont look bad on there. I just like a slightly shorter tire if its not going to make it too low.
Another nice bike! I've had 4 sport bikes but i got out of the game about a year ago. Getting the itch again so i might just have to get something to contribute to this new thread u speak of. lol

After lowering I replaced my stock sized tires with 255-40-18's all around. Little bit shorter than stock, and a little bit wider. No clearance issues anywhere.
ETA: that's the tire size shown in this pic.

Looks absolutely perfect stance wise.. I just had 255/40 htr z iii's put on all 4 and so far they're great. Just to confirm, you have H&R's with MM and your rubber spacer mod in the rear, but nothing different up front correct?
