Progressive springs kit in the front and 422's on the rear. I went about and inch and half in front and rear. I can go another inch in both but with all the two up riding I do it's good now. I also went with a little stiffer fork oil in the front and love the way it handles.

Generic extensions for the rear, about $20 on ebay. Left the front alone.

Ive got a set of the extensions already but I didnt know how much luck people had out of em.. Looks like a pretty solid and cost effective way to drop a bike.. not plannin on dropping the front, I did the sliders this past weekend and contemplated it but think i'll leave em alone for now.. Great info everyone keep it coming.. I like the pics for comparisons..

Progessive 413's... Same as 422's but in black... Progressive will take you lower then a stock shock bolt kit.
