Same amount that comes out, I got about 10.5 ounces out of each side, they weren't lowered.

lowered fork oil

I set mine at the level, not oil amount, as in the manual. I'm sorry but I am not anyway near the manual right now but I think it was around five and a half inches from the top. I also used heavy oil. It was recommended to me by another rider who had the same lowering kit, HD, as mine because he hit a bump and the crossmember spanked his fender.
Hope that helps.
