I know lowering has been talked about a lot but I have not been able to clear my mind on which way to go for me. 
5'6" about 200 lbs.
Advanced non racing rider that likes difficult technical riding.
McNutt, Tailing Ponds, Vedder, etc.
Just got 2000 KDX 220R and love it so far, one ride. Stock suspension low hours. FMF Burley and exhaust, Boyseen reeds, air box mod, jetting, 12 tooth sprocket. Works very well although 1st seems to low for some things and just right for others ? 
I have not had a chance to do anything to the bike as far as settings. Seat hieght is an issue just getting on in uneven ground is a problem. KoubaLINK #2 is this the way to go, will it affect performance and if so how. Note it seems stiff in the rear now when sitting going slowly over rocky terrain seems very stiff, hard on the back ?
Forks set to highest setting in clamps have not measured race sag yet ?

I have found that the stock suspension is always a little off balance. Try dailing in the rear first to get rid of the of the stiffness and with your wieght you might need to get a heavier fork springs if it's diving. Check out FRP's KDX Posed section on setting up your suspension it's really easy and makes a huge difference. I found the rear shock is fine once dailed in for your weight, style and terrian but the forks are just too soft and once I got the rear working good I noticed the forks even more.
Check out this link it will answer many questions and good luck.
