Effect of changing spring pre-load on height and handling

My Zeal Function X coilovers come with independent spring pre-load and height adjustment collars. They have been corner-balanced but I have found that the coilovers have a tendency to bottom out on bad depressions in the road or over bumps.

To this end, I was thinking of getting adjusting the spring pre-load collars to get longer stroke, but before I do that, I wanted to check in with you guys on:

a. whether i would need to have the car corner balanced again. The spring pre-load adjustment collar has no visible effect on ride height as I can see

b. what effect on handling would there be to having a longer stroke?
