Yes there is and they suck. I'm taking mine out tomorrow after 2 years of himmin 'n hawin' about the money I'm putting on the shelf, man **** it. And normally I don't like being negative about anything. Whe I bought them I was promised these would help keep the front wheel on the road in a bumpy curv---- they just don't do it.

Ok, a stupid question... What is the differens between a drop-in-kit and non drop-in-kit?
I tought the job involved was to take off the top caps, remove the old springs and "drop in" the new ones. And of cource check and/or change the oil. I just don't understand what a drop-in kit is. Sound like it should make the job easier, but does it?

Hi, is it okie to put in the progressive front fork drop-in lowering springs without putting in the pvc spacers that comes with it?
I find the ride quite harsher than stock after I installed the drop-in springs. Is that normal?

Drop ins are great, just installed mine a week ago. great ride now, even lowered 2 inches. Its a quick install compared to having to take apart the forks to replace the compensator springs on the dampening tube

Also, you could probably get away without running any PVC spacers. I cut my spacers down to only 1/2 inch. It lowered my bike well over 2 inches and I have only bottomed out once (going too fast at an unfamiliar railroad crossing).
