the suspension dogbones need to be changed out for the rear to drop.

Hello & Welcome!!

I don't suggest lowering the bike. I got my bike tuned to my weight and that works great! I'm 5'2.5" and ride an F4i....it's only a little bit shorter in the seat than the RR.

lowering the bike does change the handling dynamics, but seeming how this is your first bike and since i'm a firm beliver in "if you do something long enough you get used to it" i don't see this as a huge problem.

for a seasoned rider though, i can predict problems.
