  2. This is just something you're gonna have to experiment and find out what
    suits you. Try different things, and see what you like, and what
    doesn't work for you.

    Depends on your weight, style and personal preference. It should be
    squishy to absorb stuff, and provide some 'spring' when jumping, But
    if it folds sideways when making a sharpish turn it's too low. Also if
    you drop and the rim hits the ground (through the tyre).

    Yes you lower it. Again, preference and style dependent. You lower it
    more if for hopping you rely on seat-in. Try lowering 4 inches as a
    starting value. If you're not used to riding that low, go in steps.
    For climbing, however, a low seat is disadvantageous. Some (but not
    many) people use a quick release seat clamp and increase seat height
    just before a long climb.
