Not really; where did you read that? You can remove the spacer between the top shock mount & frame; that will lower the back a bit and keep it the same stiffness. You can also lower it by lessening the preload on the rear shock spring and pushing the front forks up a little.

Having a remote is good but look at what you are asking. Even if the spring is not up to par for your weight or experience level, the preload and your tires will determine on things. You can lower preload at what cost in your expectations? The shock and the springs along with other mechanical aspects play a role.

I don't think you can lower the bike by the adjusting the rear spring. it might lower it a little but i don't think it will be stiff like your looking for. If you want to lower your bike look for some lowering dog bones that will lower it but just make sure you have the suspension set up afther there installed.
