Question? How did you lower your bike? What process did you use? Where the forks in good shape before the lowering?

RE: dives in front

well as far as bleeding making it worse that means you put more air into your lines then you got out. As far as the bike diving that seems like it would be normal to an extent seeing you lowered it so much.
