What kind of riding to you do. Because a lowering kit is not good for any jumpin. MAYBE VERy small jumps I mean small. A lowering kit is only good ONE for looks. and flat track and DRAG racing. ALL depends on how you ride. If you Do alote of jumping you will put stress on the frame......

Your best bet is to get +2 a-arms and an extended axle (+2 to +4 adjustable) and get some MXR6's (18" rears and 20" fronts) and you'll be good to go. You may need to get new shocks depending on which a-arms you get, so shop around. It'll give you more stability and you'll be sitting lower to the ground without affecting the bikes jumping ability, in fact you'll notice a softer landing with the extended a-arms. And you might even want to get the stock shocks revalved if you haven't already, seems to make a huge difference in comfort and shock performance if you can't afford to buy new shocks.
