suspension height
 
I am new. I have an 03 650 with race tek springs 9.5, 20 weight oil, and emulators.
I have lowered the front end about 25mil. how for is to far? I have cranked up the back all the way and the whole bike handles great.
I am curious though as to if I lower the rear and lower the front more,
dropping the center of gravity will this bennefit me more :?:

25mm? Ouch! I would have though you would have some major ground clearance issues. I haven't seen any K3 race bikes that have had the front lowered more than 10mm. Most go for 5mm to compensate for the 120/70 tyre profile.

check your potential fork travel vs actual.
