The way they recommend involves cutting down on your top speed by using smaller diameter tires in back and removing the front suspension bar. I would much rather have 4 full size wheels on my Skyline and slam that thing to the ground. My intention is to completely tuck the upper tire into the body. Maybe I'll even have to trim the side skirts so they don't drag. It's gonna look badass. Only thing I can recommend is reslotting your body and dremeling away the inner fenders so your wheels can still fit. Mine's gonna be a tight squeeze.

I'm currently trying to lower my subaru. I had to open the front body tab thingy upwards using a file, and sanded down the inside. Then I'll make the rear tab bigger. Oh, and remember to remove your PCB cover, since in some bodys, it rubs against the windshield and we'll prevent the body from going on lower.

Well I just lowered the front using the new tabs method, lowered it 2 layers, and I had the suspension bar taken out, but it had MAJOR steering issues with the drop and the lack of that bar.

So, I put the bar back in and took a pocket knife to the inner fenders to make sure the wheels didn't rub. Turned out all 4 did. But I'm noticing that with the front dropped 2 layers, it actually looks level. The front of Microsizers is a little too high out of the box, and dropping the front only makes the car look "right."

Its a sensible drop, not excessive, not too hard to do, and doesn't inhibit steering. I'm happy with it.

what did you make the tabs out of?
