Confusion reigns.
Lowering the yolks down the forks (raising the forks) gives a lower ride height at the front, not higher. Height has nothing to do with steering speed though, the angle of the rake does. Lowering the front end by lifting the forks through the yolks alters the geometry, it's this that gives a faster turn-in, but it's at the expense of straight line stability, it's a trade-off.
