Question 60mm too much?

is a 60mm drop using standard dampers on my classic going to wreck the handling?

Just because they say -60mm does not mean it will lower that much... I put
-50mm H&R's on mine and the actual drop was 20-25mm against the standard Turbo Springs. Do a search on my name and you will see my write up and photos on the subject.

jc,
if you lower the rear and fit matched uprated dampers you will vastly improve the handling particularly if the rear is approx 20mm lower than the front. far greater cornering ability as the rear will stay more planted especially when braking at high speed.. however it will break all your teeth. heh heh.
