Obviously haven't read through the whole thread. Not a single complaint and there are people with 15K + on them already. Good job.

Did the fender bolt mod and about 80-90% of the rubbing went away...got to be honest, while I was doing it I thought that these few mm's wouldn't make a difference. But I am impressed LOL.

they go low enough to have a nice drop, but not to be slammed. honestly being slammed is just not practical most of the time, but it does look damn good.

ps i still have 8 threads left an im getting complements on my drop an im happy where i am for now.

Unmodified they can go lower than spring (I am thinking of the lowest Vogtlands), modified they can go even lower by removing rear perches and cutting the dead coils.

The shock bodies aren't threaded all the way down on these due to the endlink tab afaict.
