      i dont know what conversion you are using, the ride drop is just the the amount of lowering you will see.

      there are 25.4 mm in an inch. So if you buy 25mm drop spring you will see @ a 1 inch drop, 50mm springs will be @ 2 inches of drop, 75mm will yield about a 3 inch drop etc. Any other amounts will yield +/- a fraction of an inch..

      measure from the top of the tire, straight up to the fender, that is where the drop will appear to occur, or be most noticeable.

      thank you

      Thank you so much. I have been using all kinds of calculators online and they are just confusing me like crazy so the 50 MM's would work I thank bith of you that have replied to my question. I have been real antsy and saw a great deal on K-Sport Springs but when I went to order them they were showing 125MM- 50MM I had no idea what it meant. Thank you both of you guys.
