I would guess whoever put that hoop on the front didn't bother to correct the overall geometry of the bike. It's up to you what to alter, the idea is to find a set-up to get the bike to corner the way you want. Raising the rear end effectively steepens the steering angle and shortens trail. So does dropping the forks through the yokes, however, be weary not to lower it too much for you will find the fender slamming into the fairing on the brakes - which makes it really interesting trying to get around some tighter bends I'm sure!
I'd put a /70 section on the front as it tends to offer more mid-corner feel. As for the rear, a 170 will suit you fine unless it's putting out 120 hp and you're really into doing track days.
Check out my photo link for a nice photo of an 00' ZX-6R with the rear ride hide up 9mm and the forks dropped 3mm. It's essentially the same bike as yours with different bodywork and a lightly breathed on chassis. You too can wheelie out of corners on the throttle
