General feeling is that 70mm is to low because you can run out of adjustment when setting up the tracking etc and you should really run shorter shocks as the standard ones will be running on the end of their damping range i run a 60mm drop with shorter shocks and 16 inch rims with no problems also you will have to cut doen the bump stops .Have a word with Simon Baxter or Jokerdub hope this helps Stef :D
