Default Sportster rigid struts

Hello:
I was looking at these does anyone use them? Did they really lower your bike 4ins? I measured the shocks I have on now they seem to 11.5 -12 in. So that should only be a 1-2in drop.
Thanks,

I bought a set from eBay also. They were the same ones, but from a different seller. It seems like 3 or 4 sellers are all using the very same description in there auctions. But look around, the one I boght from had free shipping, with the same "buy it now" price of $39.95.

But they are not going to lower your bike 4", unless you have extra tall shocks. I don't know where they get that claim from? But they will lower it to a 10" center, measured on the shock mounts.

I haven't put mine on, and am not really sure if I ever will. I'll just wait and see how my current mod turns out before I decide.
