Air shocks can quite easily lower or raise the rear of the bike. I think you'll have a little more trouble with the front.

You can also use air suspension on the front

I've seen it done, but where can you buy such a set-up for the VRSC? That's what I meant about having a little more trouble-----finding them for the forks.
