Default 15 SGS rear shocks question

on the 15 SGS the stock rear shocks are the premium ride
hand-adjustable ones, but are they standard height or low profile?
the reason i'm asking is if i decide to go with the premium ride fork kit
i have to choose between standard or low profile to have a balanced
suspension system.
I've search the forum but just can't find an answer.
thanks in advance.

They're the 12" low profile shocks...

Yes, stock front fork on SGS is standard height and shocks are low.

You can go with either fork. Low will lower the bike from its stock height.

You can have the back lower than front. You can't have a low front and 13" rear.
