Little bit of Lowering...

CAN the City ride height be 'lowered' - by about 20-30mm - by just dropping the clamped end of the shock as circled here?

Found this old reply to the same Query from James..

You are able to lower as you say, by lowering the strut further down into the knuckle. It defeats the purpose of the bump-stop tho, and you may end up with something making contact with something it shouldn't under heavy bump. Like a wheel with a guard or your car with the ground.

Personally, if possible, I would combine this with cutting a coil or 1.5 coils off the springs, as this stiffens it up, which is what you want.
