Default Progressive Fork Springs

Does anyone have experience with or knowledge of Progressive's 10-1561 or 10-2003 fork springs on an '10 Ultra?

From Progressive about all I can see is one is a drop in and one not. Both are lowering springs.

I have a guy who is thinking about having me install one or the other in his bike. He wants to drop the front end some and stiffen up the ride a bit, says the front end is too mushy for his tastes.

Used Progressive many times before but not on a touring bike.

Comments?

TIA

I am using Progressive lowering springs on the front of my '00 RK and love them. I know that it's not a '10, but I've been very happy with my springs since I put them on. I've had them for 3 years now.

Thanks! I'll pass along the info and see if he wants to try them. After all, it is his dime.

Don't worry, any advice I give on things where I can find little info is just that; "Sorry but I can't find out a whole lot about these springs. If you want to try them, fine. But I offer no input on how they will perform.", "If you don't like them, it will be your dime to go back stock or change to something else."

I never give advice on anything I have no personal experience with. Bikes or otherwise.
