What are people doing in regards to dropping the ass of 510/1600s?
Need to get mine lower but sitting on bumpstops as it is.
Any tips ideas or modifications?

Re: Dropping 510
How big are you bumpstops? Get tiny ones or cut yours right down. Short shocks and springs cut to length.

Just the usuals then.
I was hoping for some closely guarded family secret passed down from generation to generation.

Cut bump stops and then use s13 adjustable suspension in the back.

Re: Dropping 510
I too share klassic motion's concern about the ability of the shock mounts (Bottom on the arm, and top being the shock pocket in the body) to endure the full suspention loads.
I'm a little wary of anything the 'mericans do. Some stuff they roll with impunity, is unsafe/would never be allowed here.
