As dkid said don't go as massive ammount. I dropped mine 10mm and found tankslappers a bit of a problem. But a steering damper cured the problem, but that another expensive item.

Massive change but I had jack up plates on the rear shock as well. Turns into corners very quickly but shook its head on the way out. Depends how hard you ride I suppose too. Best way is to try it and change the depth of fork drop to what suits you and your riding style.
