You could cut a new slot in the front and take out a section of the rear mounting tab, but I'm not too sure there is enough room in the front to lower it.

im not really sure what u meen, but i think i got it. if u meen u want to make the body sit lower on the chassis so it has the fenders kinda tucking the tires. i did dat on my 1st mini z. just take scissors and trim the springs. start with small cuts and take it gradually. my rsx is tuckin phat 19's in the back.

cutting springs makes the suspension sit weird. Trimming the mount where the rear tab goes is a nice professional way to do it.
It's pretty simple.
Measure the amount you want to drop the car while it's sitting level with the batteries in it.
take the body off, locate the black tab in the rear, and unscrew the tab.
Mark the mounting point, where the black tab was attached, to the measurement you took.
trim it
for the front,
mark the measurement above the slot where the chassis tab goes.
Trim the slot for the entire length, so the tab will move up further in the body
After you do this, press each tire up, to see where or if it rubbs, and trim those areas. Turn full left and right and trim off anything that may hit the tire while you are pressing on the tire.
Try not to go thru the body!

you could add more height by adding to where the connector in the front goes with a drilled peice of plastic and some longer screws but im dont know how to do the back...
