Its ok as a temporary measure but ride quality will be shite!! Mines down 60mm on standard shocks and handles like a sack of shit Its fine on a flat road but slight bumps feel like mountains

you are always going to get a rough ride , but worse with std shocks, and more bumpy, even if u can life with that the std shocks will nacker up quickly becasue they cant cope,
just buy some gmax gas shockers from larkspeed.com i have them wiht 17s and gmaz - 40 rear and fk - 40 front springs and its really good to drive
although i want -50 all round now anyione want to swap ^ springs for-50 front / rear?
