I have taken them apart & cut 2 or 3 coils out of the springs.Depending on the style of shock will determine how they come apart.Some aftermarket shocks are easy,while some OEM are a pain to get apart.The last set I done were 11" aftermarket & I took out two coils.I ended up with a set of 9" shocks.Not a lot of travel left,but enough to soften the bumps.Also hardtails will not pass safety inspection here in P.E.I.

did the kick stand hit the ground at all while cornering?

They are 320mm (12.6") & no kickstand did not hit with the S40 shocks.

They are adjustable by the threaded bottom coupler.I don't see how that would be any different than any ride adjustable shock.Certainly not gonna come down to the 10" of the S40 shocks.Also you would have to modify your bottom mounts.

if they're 12 1/2 inch and can go down by 10cm then yeah they would?

S-40 shocks would be easy and a simple bolt-on. Also a bunch cheaper. Don't over think the issue. The fancy adjustability shocks would probably be lost on a GZ anyway.

The link I gave you for the S40 shocks are off a bike with less than 3000 miles.They are practically brand new & look to be in perfect condition.
