[Nate_450R]

Im looking for a lowering kit for my 04' R. i need something that will hold up when jumping but dont want to spend the $$$ on a new set of A-Arms etc...i can get a set off ebay (cant think of the name) but i dont know how strong nthey will be. any suggestions? what do you all use?

arms wont really lower it like you need it to... shocks is really the only way to go.

im looking at getting into mx racing. but at the same time im starting to do a little more freestyle.

shocks are deffinately on the way IF i decide to stick with racing. but just for a temporary fix so to speak what would you suggest?

[honda4life72]

umm....smaller tires would help.....not really a way to lower it a "safe way" that it can still be jumped without buying arms and shocks

[400exrider707]

Keep it stock... smaller tires would help, then just adjust the stock shocks on it. You can lower it a little over a full inch I believe with the stockers just by adjusting them.;)

but nobody knows of a company that makes a kit strong enough to withstand the pressure of jumping? im not worried about the back, the front is what im afraid wont hold up.

How low are you really wanting to go? I cant really see needing the quad that low for how you are going to be using it... and no there really are not any very good lowering kits that are made for jumping. Lower the shocks down with adjustments and then get smaller tires if you dont already have them.

the lowering kits are almost all high quality and will last. its just that they put all the stress on youir other parts so they will break. u need aarms and aftermarket shocks or just aftermarket shocks
