1. yes, it will and she'll find the bike will turn easier, too.
2. I lowered the bike with the spacers already mounted so it would drop only the amount that the spacers would allow by topping out against the bottom of the handlebar clamps. in other words, install the spacers and handlebars, loosen the pinch bolts on the triple clamps and twist the fork tubes as you shove them upwards into the spacers as far as they will go until they bottom on the underside of the handlebars. do both sides and tighten the pinch bolts. remove the handlebars to check that the fork tubes did indeed slide up evenly on both sides. reinstall handlebars.
