What are some of the ways to lower a 660 raptor?

take the suspension out ;)

thats one way. hahaha






they sell some kits that spread out the bottom shock mount on the a-arms , but ive never tried it , and  doesnt seem too good for jumping.



why do you want to lower it?

An aftermarket rear link will lower it. You could take all of the preload off the shocks.

I want to lower it to try flat track racing

A sway bar. If you're not jumping you could use those losering kits thay move the shocks.

A lowering kit would work fine to get you started.

Or, instead of a front lowering kit, you could run either Blaster, Warrior, or Banshee front shocks. They lower the front just right. There's used ones on Ebay all the time for cheap.

You can get by without a sway bar for now. If you like flat track and TT you can add one later.
