Is there any other way than to put smaller wheels?

with that body youd have to make the mounting slots in a new place and probably dremel out those wheel wells.

**god that body is ugly**

Lift car high in the air and release :D


Ok, seriously, you can also lower the body on the frame by cutting new slots in the shell.

shave off the tip of the front tab and super glue another piece of plastic under.....

Take a look here
 
Basically what SiK_pNoi_sTyLez said, I just put up small tutorial w/pics HERE for front modification. Then for the rear you need to Dremel out a new slot, sorry no pics yet :(.

personally, i did lower my car, and was not very pleased with it. it still didnt make it look REALLY low to the ground, and you kinda lose performance in my opinion, you cant ride over things like small cracks cuz you might bottom out. your better off putting spring suspension on. i did that an its much better:D :bs: :bs: :bs:

Do the tab thing, thats what I did with my Skyline. Shanly did the small rear wheels mod, which looked like ass and you can't use other gearsets without modding them as well. Also, don't lower the back, lowering the front by 2 layers of plastic makes the car look level and slightly tucks the front wheels, giving the ideal drop distance.

That is only half true (for the bodies I use anyway), the Skyline body sat level w/ a single tab mod in front and a soft suspension set-up. If you Use a stiffer suspension set-up I can see how that would NOT have the same results, the body drop would appear to have little affect. Therefore you would need to do a double tab mod. Now in the case of my FD body, the single tab w/ the soft suspension is much lower in the front giving it a "hammered" look. So for this body I will do the "rear slot mod". As I said it's just my situation, so everyone may experience something different. :)

if you dont want to do any shaving you can get a credit card (old one) and cut it into strips and glue them on to the bottom edges it looks either shaving or adding
