Progressive lowering kit
About four months ago I installed progressive lowering shocks, I was going to do the front and rear but the shop I ordered them through recommended just doing the rear until I got used to the ground clearance? Anyway, Im getting ready to do the front now but was wondering if anyone has front and rear and if it makes a big change that I should keep an eye on more than normal. Thanks

IMO it makes no sense that they didn't want to do the front as well, WTF? The only changes it makes is highly favorable. I'd be surprised if the handling is even noticeable to you, other than improved ride quality. Do the front' you'll be glad you did. And maybe start getting advice from another shop.
Like you 370, I lowered rear first, but only rode around for couple days. I found it stiffer but more comfortable for me, because of the lower center of gravity. It seemed like it was harder to maneuver when backing out of spaces, and turning around when doing the duck waddle thing. Lowered the front; and it made that stuff easier. Felt way better riding too. I let a teeny bit of air of back tire and its all good. I ride on the conservative side so I can avoid potholes, etc. If you like it now, you'll love it when you're done. You may want to take some before and after measurements (ground clearance and shock travel) to look back on if adjustments are needed later.
