What do you have R/C or Q/C:dontknow:
 
06 QUAD

I NOTICED THAT YOU HAVE A VOLANT INTAKE DID YOU SEE ANY PEFORMANCE INCREASE FROM THIS
 
He had just a 2in block on his R/C and it looked good and did not change the handling. he went to the X-metal lowering kit

Tim, you really need to get rid of those Pirelli's. When you do, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

I've put a 1 1/2 block in on mine. I think the stance is perfect that way. I had tried a 2" block but felt it sat lower in the back than front looking at the space between the top of the tire and fender. I saw absolutely no change in handling. This mod is all about ascetics.
 
Originally I had some 1.75 inch blocks made and it sat level, which I liked the look of.

The one thing I noticed was that the turn in was not as quick as some weight was transferred to the rear this way.

I have since gone to the full X-Metal lowering kit and I'm happy with it. I did not have them slot the adjustments for Camber when they aligned it. Personally I like a little extra Camber as I like to push it in the corners and I prefer my vehicles to be loose. When it pushes all you can do is slow down and hope for the best.

Anyway, Zack (Bigred460) now has the original blocks I had made. Hopefully he will chime in and let you know how he likes them.
