I have been thinking of lowering the rappy for the drag races. Found CRJ lowering kits for the front and rear. Does anyone have any comments and experience with them?    ???

Ive use the rear link for awhile and havent had any problems. Make sure to get an ADJUSTABLE rear link. And the fronts seem to work better with stock A-arms. When I installed the fronts on my raptor today ( Wicked +2 A-arms)  they seem to be capable of breaking the welds where the suspension attaches to the A-arms. But it definetly put my 700 on the ground. Very noticible. But as far as use, we'll see after I most likely destroy my A-arms.

I threw in a picture to show you. The links are supposed to be facing the opposite direction. However I feel more comfortable with the way I installed them. I was about to change them and decided its either this way or back to stock, unfortunatly I dont have the pictures of the CORRECT installation to demonstrate why I chose to install them this way. But still, the end result is the same, a squatted monster!

And the lowering links front and back are from CRJ, the brand on Ebay!

I had a front and rear lowering kit in mine.All i will say is if you ride rough trails dont waste the money. I felt like i got beat with a bat everytime i rode for awhile and couldnt figure out why.it takes away suspension travel and causes alot of bottoming out.I was tired of the bottoming out so i removed them,then went riding. all i can say is after a lowering kit you will appreciate stock pogo stick shocks :lol:
