Looking ways to lower my kids scrambler 90cc for speedway
Can lower rear using shorter shock or moving shock mount on swing arm
But how can i lower front end to match rear
tried shorter shock but end up with too much camber
Has anyone done this if so how or does anybody have an idea i can try

In the states they use go-kart tyres.......

do a search on "duro extreme dirt track" and you will find some pics of what I mean in one of the race report galleries.
