I thought I remembered seeing one here, but my search turned up nothing.

I haven't built one yet Gabriel, but I have looked through it and gotten a plan for lowering it. In the rear, I plan on drilling out the spring sockets so that I can let the springs go up as much as I want. Then, I'll just super glue them in place when assembly time comes. Up front will be really simple. Just drill a new hole above the old one on the spindle. If I need more, I'll let the tire size take care of the rest. Hope this helps you out or at least gives you a starting point.

Gabe, My buddy is building this car for a club build. He just cut the front springs, and layed the rear end right up against the chassis. It sat REALLY nice too. Didn't actually pick it up to look( i don't like touching guy's finished builds. I'd rather THEY show it to me)but that's how he explained it. I understand the concept so I'm good with it, it's not just a hacked up job.
