you drop the front the same amount by slideing the forks though the clamps.
If you just drop the rear you will end up with a chopper.very slow steering...

pick a point stright above the rear axle..measure to the ground... put the lowering links on..re-maesure at that point... then do the same to the front
& the diffrents in the two rear measurements... drop the front the same amount...

some times you may need bar risers to get the front fork legs though the top clamp enough with out them hitting the bars...
