I second Brooms comments.

By dropping your fork lower you might not have level the fork at its natural state or level so creating binding in the process.

I installed a fork brace on my bike and at first I just clamp on the brace with the bike on its side stand and go riding, I notice the bike starts to wobble around 80mph and at fast corners the front end just feel twitchy at certain lean angels.

Got home, take off the fork brace, put bike on center stand and push the forks up and down cycling through its travel couple times and let it settle, then clamp on the fork brace back on.....presto!!! problem solved

Check that you drop your fork equally on both legs as that is my suspect to your problem.
