hey, I was wonder, what are the benefits of lowering a z400. I know it's lower center of gravity, and wider I think? But do you lose and shock travel? I'm thinkking about lowering it for handling and stuff on the track. I just got it yesterday, it was still in the crate and I'm already talking about lowering it, lol, thanks.

if you lower it you need different shocks and a-arms if you are going to race on the track you would need a long travel set-up!! to absorb the landings. a lower center of gravity is one advantage of lowering but all the upgrades to do so arent cheap!!!

First off - what kind of track are you gonna race on?

The lowering kit would be for someone who is going to race flat track and not use the quad for anything else.
