You've lowered the front 2mm (raised the fork legs 2mm) and want quicker handling? Best to raise the rear with shims or whatever Suzuki uses. Your extra weight may be lowering the rear which decreases handling. Removing a link will shorten the swingarm and perhaps worsen handling.

Somewhere, there's a tutorial on how to check the sag of the bike and the sag with the rider. Especially since you have an adjustable suspension, I would get the sag set correctly before I did anything else.
