i cant wait to tackle this project, probably this winter. how are the ultima shocks? i was just gonna use the $20 bolts because i dont have the coin for the 422s right now but i noticed you can get the ultimas for about $125-$150 on ebay, do they last? i have learned the hard way with certain things that you get what you pay for. how do they ride if lowered 2 inches? can they even lower 2 inches, whats the farthest they can lower?

I thought they were fine. My bike pictured above was about as low as they could go, which tucked about ~1/2 the whitewall. I'll sell you mine for $75 +shipping, if you're interested. Only have about 2000 miles on 'em.
