Let all the air out of your tires that should drop you an extra inch or so.
Not recomended to drive on however.

For God sake use the search function in this forum. The "notch" way is the exact same as the "spline" method. Oh, for reference this is also known as a torsion bar adjustment or "lowering the rear of a bug". It's all the same damn thing just different lingo. Although some the ideas above may work, the "notch-spline-torsion adjustment-lowering the rear of a bug" method is by far the best way.
Besides, do you really want to have to pay to take those hoochies to McDonald's every couple of hours? |

You cant take the torsions out of the back, you have to adjust them. You can take some out of the front, thats what you are thinking.

thats the procedure. Does this even belong in the wheels forum?
