I've got the 1 1/2" lower progressives and love them. I'm not sure about you're reference to the Furbur Fix. The Furbur Fix doesn't lower the front end, it just swaps the placement of the washer in relation to the nuts. You're front might have been lowered but if someone told you that it's got the "fix" unless they have changed the springs internally or dropped the forks in the clamps, it probably isn't lowered. I've lowered my front by an inch internally and that combined with the lower rear end has really made the steering much quicker than it was stock.
