How did it handle afterwards? I'm looking to change mine out. It bottoms out a little too easy I have 20k on them, so I guess it's time. Looking to switch out the shocks too, but that's another story.

I like how it handles. It's a little stiffer ride, but no more nose dive when coming to a stop. I also dropped the rear 1.5" with the collars at the same time and it's definitely a stiff ride, but I love it. I do scrape my floorboards every now and then on sharp turns.

Did you install the standard "drop in" progressive kit, or the lowering version? Thx

What are the specs on your bike? Year, fork oil type and what size spacer? I have a 21 on the front with the slammer kit and the front end bottoms out on what seems like a crack in the road. But I'm at a loss and sick of tearing the front end apart. Any help would be much appreciated!
