If you can find a pic of my quad around here, or go on eBay and look for the Z400 for sale in Yorktown Heights, NY, you can see how it looks with a front and rear lowering kit. I would post a pic, but I'm replying from my iPhone right now.

That CRJ link tha's all over Ebay for $50 can be jumped with, and it it's tallest hole, is a little lower than stock. I don't think I would jump it with the middle hole, might be safe, might not. Definitely don't jump it with it in it's lowest setting.

I would think that tripple rate springs and the CRJ link would make a great handling setup that's jumpable. You can cut the extra two holes off for clearance.

yes, from their website

Lowering kits are NOT DESIGNED FOR JUMPING.
Will fit on STOCK A ARMS ONLY.
Lowers front by 3 1/2" widens by apx. 2". as for the rear link CFM is probably right. I don't see how it's a whole lot different then the pep link I got in my quad.......obviously not as strong though.

I keep my link on the middle setting all the time, and from what it seems, there is enough clearance for small to medium sized jumps without slamming the bottom of the exhaust into the brake caliper.

Slammed!

I would imagine the pep is better. The CRJ is cheap and that's why I have it. I wanted to try it out. I will say, it's way stronger than it looks. I bottomed it really hard multipel times on the MX track, like way harder than I expected it to stand up to, and it doesn't appear to have distorted it in any way.

I just started playing with the middle setting. It handles awesome, but it looks like it all but touches my pipe. I think it would if not for the big dent that's already there. The HMF sits tight to the frame. If I spacer it out, I might get by this way.

So what would be a safe, effective and inexpensive way to lower the front? Is there one?
I'd like to get my son's Z (and mine) to sit a little lower. He is not a jumper at all...yet. He would jump the 250 some but is still a little intimidated on jumping the Z. Either way, he'll never be a big jumper.
