Nope, as you lower a coilover the piston threads onto the lower casing. This does not take anything away from how far the piston will compress upon hitting a bump. Now if you were to drop the spring perches in order to be lower than that would have and effect on the shock travel and the life of the coilover.
But with the Stance's you should not have to do that.
And this would be much easier to visualize with a coilover over in my hands, lol

Dustin, that pic looks like it's on an S chassis. The Z front and rear is a little different. Look at that pic and just imagine turning the shock to raise or lower it.
