If your considering lowering springs I would look at Swift springs as an option CT5 Blackwing "Spec-R" Lowering Spring Kit by Swift Springs

I had these on my Atsv and they were great, they retained a very comfortable ride quality
Swift springs have been out of stock for a while now.
Not sure if this was posted before, Eibach is now offers lowering springs.

The ones I got from tapout when they were released are legit. 4 track days and 4k miles later love them.
 
I just got my eibach spring and am trying to install them soon. I will post picks when they are to see how the drop compares to swift springs.

Guys, we manage our inventory properly, and have a 99% daily fill rate on all products. Life's too short for excuses in our opinion!

 
I think staying with 19s was good for the ride..frankly I notice no issues with ride quality.
 
Ok, got the eibach springs installed today. Attaching pics of before and after. Compared to the pictures I've seen on the forum I think the drop is less than the swift springs. The ride quality is comparable to stock, maybe 5 percent stiffer.

Looks great! Give it a hundred miles or two for it to fully settle. Now maybe some wheel spacers to get the stance just right??
 
Lowering does look great.

Makes you realize stock does look like a motocross bike by comparison :)

i would just hate to lose any ride quality.
 
I have my custom magnesium wheels that arrived this week. I just installed the tires so I will post some pics in the next day or so when installed. As far as ride quality it is almost exactly like stock. I've put about 50 miles today and can say it rides great. I have modified the suspension on just about every cat I have owned, over 40, and this is one of the least different feeling from stock.

How much were the mag wheels and what kind of weight saving?

I was debating them myself until my STO front passenger wheel got a slight bend and i found out you cannot fix or mend magnesium wheels. I daily drive the car in chicago and as much as i would LOVE to lower it there are times the factory ground clearance comes close tro being an issue.
