er... If you strip it out there is obviously less weight in the car so the suspension will sit higher...

Strip it, decide if you like handling or not. If the latter, lower it

see my videos and thread!!

I had lowered mine on 21mm bars about 40mm.

Had to lower it again by 50mm when I finished removing junk!

Think my beam was set 20mm lower. WP will confirm.
Doesn't look high with not much weight in, also depends on how much rake you want and how you want it to handle

IIRC the ones I've stripped have been about 20mm higher at the rear after stripping. Weather it needs lowering or not afterwards depends on your personal opinion on looks and handling.
