Default Progressive "Drop In" Lowering Kit for front end

Was wondering if any or how many any of you are using this or have used this and what the general opinion is on the product.

I just ordered a Shotgun Shock for the rear of My Heritage. I am thinking I want to lower the front end down an inch maybe two. Right now I have a Race Tech kit in my front end with the gold emulators. Thought maybe this progressive kit might be the way to go for the quick and easy lower.

Can anyone chime in on the ride and how simple this really is to install?

It's a few hrs worth of work lowering the front end of your Heritage, nothing fast at all. I lowered the front of my 1992 and it was not easy but not hard. A lot of taking things apart including the shocks.

Rides like a sports car by comparison to stock. I run 1" drop with Arnott Aldens in the back and a Progressive chassis stabilizer. Night and Day difference!
