Happy new year and all the best to everyone on the site.
Can anyone recommend anywhere for lowering springs for an A610
apart from art? Cheers, steve.

It's not the springs that do the lowering, it's the adjustable collar on the shock. Steve's yer man for that stuff.

Well yeah, but do you do it that way? Ideally they should be stiffer too :D

Cut some off your stock springs which will lower it and stiffen it. Remember a coil spring is just a wound torsion bar, so less coils= stiffer spring rate.
