front forks
« on: January 16, 2015, 09:30:13 AM »
How far can I safely internally lower front forks? Turbo busa 2inch oil pan. Everything else on the front end is stock.

What is used for drag racing use only, land speed, or a little street? Thanks for the reply. I searched the topic there was a lot of talk about lowering the front forks. But nothing about the results. I just don't want to be a statistic and end up sliding across the ground. Again THANKS!
