Default How do I lower my slash?

Hello every one I am wondering if any one knows how to lower the slash? I love my slash but I want to start racing it more and my only problem I have with it is that it is extremely high off the ground like OMG bad. And I have to buy new hex nuts and tires because I stripped them (facepalm). Forgot to check them. Any advice on how to lower it and what tires to get?

Some images on just how high it is..

Take the plastic clips off of the shocks.

put some limiters inside the shocks. that will limit chassis roll a little. run the lower eyelets as far out on the arm as possible.

Ideally, at a very high level, the ride height should be set where when you press the car down it will bounce back and drive shafts are level or slightly point upward. Also at high level, once your ride height is set, the dampers or shocks should provide enough damping so that chassis is not bottoming out after a 'normal' jump at landing.
