Default Just got lowering links... a few questions

I just got a set of vortex billet lowering links for my 99 f4. Has anyone here put a set on their bike, and if so how hard was it to do so? Also, do you suggest sending it to the dealer to get these put on? thanks in advance

When you lower the rear of a bike you must lower the front by about 1/2 inch more so it will handle correctly.
