At 4' 10" You are definitely being bold and I hope you win.
Yes, the spring collar getting threaded upwards will lower the bike some more, but even that adjustment has limits.

I suggest putting the bike on the center stand, if you got one, or on a lift/crate so the rear wheel is off the floor. Loosen the lock screw on the collar and turn it upwards until there is no pressure on the spring (note: record the number of turns for future reference). Now turn the nut back down *some* turns, noting how many. Take the bike off the stand and check the height. Repeat as necessary.

As Spud advised, read the link he provided. It's good, sound info.

Jay.
