I have never scrubbed my lowers even 2 up, maybe it's riding style (toes yea, pegs yea) I'm never off the gas coasting when cornering in the twisties. Getting back on the throttle early in turns lifts the bike and settles the suspension.

Before spending big bucks on all new stuff

Properly set up the suspension for you

and evaluate your riding techniques. I'm not talking about just cruising around. If you really haul the mail on twisty roads see if something you are doing is causing the suspension issues. Anytime you are off the throttle cornering you have reduced ground clearance and more weight shifted forward which will compress the forks, getting on the throttle shifts that weight rearward which raises the bike.

I've seen guys at the track get to the limits cornering their bikes with factory stuff, then at lunch break have traction dynamics properly set up their factory stuff and go out and by the second session after lunch shave another 1 to 1.5 seconds off their lap times
