Ideally a varied range would be good, 30mm, 40-45mm, 50, 60mm etc..
Thinking about lowering the HDi some more but want to see what it looks like first, thinking 60mm but might be a bit too low for my liking.. pics please

havent got any pics at the moment but ive got mine 30mm front and rear to match and to be honest it doesnt look alot different. having stripped the interior might have something to do with that though maybe

Jtrigga and Jim are doing it right! 8-) 80mm front and between 40-60mm rear, little bit of front rake is ftw, rear rake looks so poop, imo. Mr Aireys is also a good example!

I think if you spaced the back wheels out it would look awesome! How did you do the fogs?
