You can remove two locking collars of the coils to go a little more lower.

uhh that won't help so much, as the issue is that the shock is maxed out in the lower mount.

A simpler thing to do is to simply sag the rear spring, ~1/2-1".

i think stussy had the same idea. as PD said, you have to drop the lower spring collar to "sag" the spring. completely removing the collars is not a good idea.
