I have a kawasaki zzr 600 and want to lower about 2 inches. I know you can buy the lowering links for the rear but i still need to drop the front shocks right?|||You can get by without lowering the front. It will be raked out a bit, but not enough to worry about for street riding.
Lowering the rear reduces anti-squat, but again this is not an issue for street riding.
It is possible to shorten the front springs; I have done this a few times. The problem here is that it effectively makes the spring stiffer.
Imagine that you have removed the spring. Place 10 kg on the spring for example. It will compress maybe a couple inches. Now cut the spring in half and put the same weight on it. It will compress half as much.
You can get lighter fork springs from the aftermarket. This is a bigger job than replacing the dogbone links on the rear suspension. You might not want to bother.|||you maybe able to lower the front by raising the forks in the trees, not sure with this model.
