    arr righto. Id go 19's if i was you. I was going to get 18's but at the last min i got the 19's and happy i did. But what ever you do go for. just make sure you have the mags u want before lowering it.

    Lows are available from king springs. As far as lowering ride height the difference is minimal.

    SL's are what I changed my VT SS to.
    It's a nice ride height. Low enough to look good but high enough to get over most bumps!

    I think the drop from FE2's to SL's is something like 10mm??
    Not a huge drop.
