Or what way would handel better??? thanks

I would highly recommend that you take it to someone like Scott at CycleWerkz when it comes to lowering the bike... Whenever you lower a bike it also can severly impact the handling of your bike in corners, especially in high-speed, knee-dragging situations... If anything give them a call and ask them the same questions.

I say forget suspension altogether. Figure out what height you want and weld a few braces between the swingarm and the frame.

I actually have no idea. Sorry. Someone like Scott would be a good start. Or google traxxion dynamics and post up the question on their forums.

Are you lowering it to drag race? If so the lower the better and handling isn't really a concern. However if you plan to ride it reguarly my first guess would be to lower it the same but that's just a guess. Like the other guys said, Scott at Cycle Werkz will take care of you.
