are these suitable for C standard tuning with a drop G

Leaving this here for anybody looking for an answer to this question in the future. I use these strings on a 26.5" scale length Jackson JS22-7 in this tuning (GDCGFAD). It really depends how tight you like your strings but I personally like them just how they are with this setup - not too tight that you're ripping your fingers to shreds and not too loose that they sound "flubby". IMO a perfect tension.

Hi there, I have a mayones 7 string and the scale length is 25.4 would these strings be ok dropping the low B to A on this scale length?

Gonna be fine. If you have no neck reinforce like carbon or titanium rods than you might consider an alternative - buy 0.9 6 strings set and get only the 7th string at 6.4 or even larger. This is what I use on my 7 stringer.
