Even at 1.5", see above about the slight rubbing issue I've noticed. The lowering blocks are 1" tall so I would recommend only lowering both front and back 1".

Wouldn't setting the spring tension higher in the rear compensate for the little travail available? The ride will be much harsher though..

I set mine higher but have not had a chance to ride it since (stored for winter). If I jump on it hard enough though, I think the rear wheel still hits a tiny bit. That, plus the bike looks tiny and somewhat unproportional because the front can only be lowered 1", make me think 1.5" is too a bit much.

I've had no problem with the rear rubbing anywhere. Made sure to keep an eye on that. I do plan on taking the front down this spring. (put away for the winter) I need to figure out what would be my best option for doing so though.
Would anyone have a good link for these "blocks"? Sato has a handle bar conversion kit for the 250, though it is not on their website. But then again, someone advised againt Sato. Ideas????

The lowering blocks can be purchased through Roaring Toyz or Soupy's Performance. I would recommend RT instead of Soupy's based on what I've heard of Soupy's customer service.
