Correct. Drop in height w/o a change in the springs rate. They do not help w/the geometry.

There are much better solutions to your problem of wanting a lowered ride, that many companies have already spent R & D on. Problem solved!! |
For many it's finance related. My personal philosophy is upgrading to discs is a must; not a want. Not everybody agrees.
Swapping some shorter springs for drop is relatively cheap. Upgrading to discs @ the same time adds cost if the current brakes are deemed acceptable by the owner (no problem to solve).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
