Wanted; Lowering blocks

I want to see how the bike handles lowered first before forking over $$$ for shorter rear shocks.

Unfortunately they'll each handle differently due to the differences in damping, especially when plotted over travel. That being said, what you'll have to come to grips with most will be much less cornering clearance.
If you're just tooling around, spend the money on the short shocks and rock'm. If you're hoping to bash the occasional canyon, buy some good longer shocks. Your stockers are hosed after 30-some years so there's not going to even be a good baseline comparison to work from.

....sorry amigo, no simple answers huh?
