i've replaced my gk76a with a K7 rear shock. my front was lowered 20mm when i took over. now with K7 shock, i feel that i'm leaning more forward. my friend said that with lower front, corners will be sharper. please advice whether i should adjust front back to stock height or its okay to be 20mm lower. what are the pros & cons? photos of my front & rear with measurement.

rear measured with scale infront of footrest.

You dropped the forks 20mm? That's quite radical if you ask me.
I fitted a K7 shock to my bike. Because it's less soggy, that had the effect of adding about 20mm rear ride height, so my forks are back through the yokes. I think I have them at 5mm now.
Of course, my bike isn't running at the minute...

20mm on a 400?

Are you suicidal?
