Default Difference between Fork Spring Kit & Fork Lowering Kit

A bit of a newbie question, and my search didnt really give me the results I was after. (I saw the other thread "Which Progressive 412?")

I am looking at lowering my bike to give it a lower stance, front and rear, and don't plan on riding two up much.

I have been on the Progressive Suspension website and there are a few options, between a Spring Kit and Lowering Kit, cost about the same. Whats the difference and whats suggested for my bike?

I was thinking of going for

Fork Lowering Kit (Drop-In) - Front
422 Series HD - Rear

Any thoughts and suggestions? It is for a 1997 FXSTC

Thanks in advance
