Default 2" drop too much for my setup

Will I run into any problems. Mac Mids seem to tuck up there nicely.

if you have $$$ i think can get drop spindles that'll drop it without losing shock travel. never really looked into it but i think that's the concept.

what kind of springs are they?

most super low springs i've come across have horrible rates and are just going to destroy handling(i.e. sportlines)

i'm sure with good shocks/lca relocation brackets/phb they'll be alright though

hahah i always thought about buying those. ended up getting a really good deal on mine though($45 total for springs/shocks after some buying/selling).

they're probably going to handle pretty bad but it'll look nice hahah. i've never heard any feedback on em though so it'd be interesting.
