Default Progressive Drop-in Fork Lowering Kit
Progressive has a lowering kit that replaces the top springs without disassembling the whole fork. Has anybody used this kit yet.

They do?
I'd like to know how they accomplished this as the only way I know to do it is by shoving another spring under the damper, or a longer damper.

Interesting!

Go to bottom of that page to open Installation Instructions . It's more than a drop in . You still have to remove forks to do it .
