That cannot be answered verbally , need to sit in bike and follow certain steps. A utube video fm CSS school instructor and founder keith Code is availiable for this short of adjustements.
Did you lowered the rear by using a dog bone lower plate? Or with new shorter but harder springs? In case one nothing is needed as the hole bike in now sitting lower and no adjustements are needed. If it's case two then yes adjustement both for front and back are needed.

Great news, thought about it since I too replaced it in order to acomodate my boots and step firmly on the ground.
Then all are OK you can proceed without any other adjustement needed.
Need to restrain yourself and not over adjust it , try two threads at the time and give it at list two days of riding before going back to correct it. It's hard with those systems and needs a lot of work.
