I just got my ZZ SE

I went and bought a SE w/ the Yellow RX7 body on it.
A co-worker of mine bought the upgrade kit with the two toyota bodys, he tooks the lights out and put them on his xmod as fog lights, I told him I was interested in the bodys.
He said that he would trade me the single RX7 bodies for the two toyota bodies without lights.
I don't want lights, so that works fine.

There are two ways to lower the SE, right?
One: make another slot for the tab to fit into on the body
Two: grind off the tab on the chassis and make another one lower
Which is better? I want to do a body drop to get it closer to the ground.
Keep in mind, I don't have lights, and I will be getting rid of all the studs that the lights were glued to.

Also, I was racing on my desk and the car fell off and I lost a wheel (not good).
I found the wheel, but the spring is long gone.
I was thinking of taking the knuckle (I think thats the term) and super-glueing it in the white piece of plastic (I don't know the terminology for rc cars).
Any ideas, I still have one of the springs, but I took it out, I don't think the front independant suspension helped that much anyway.
Thanks,

I fixed the problem with the missing spring.
I took some heat shrink tubing and put it around the top half of the knuckle, thus forcing the suspension to stay down at all times, it worked great.

I took a dremel and made a slot on the trueno body to see how I liked it, it worked great on the rear, but I got trigger happy on the front and made the slot too high, so the tab wouldn't fit.
I now have three slots on the front, I am going to putty the other two up and see what it looks like.
I also took the dremel to all the stand offs in the body, where the electronics were.
I've got it pretty low, it still needs some work.

seems like this is a one sided converstation, but heres and update.
I broke my SE.

The plastic part the screws in on top of the wheels, that hold the knuckles in is fine, but where it screws in, is cracked.
I guess all of this damage was done when it fell off my desk.
I am going to superglue the crack and then screw into it and see what happens.
The ZZ was pulling to the right, so I think that is why.
We'll see what happens once I superglue it back.

Let the super glue dry before you put the screw back in, or it will be in forever..
