Lower overall height for Corally Asuga - but how to achieve?

[XashBE]

So, i'm planning to turn my Corally Asuga into a power drifting car (don't argue if it's a waste or not, i just wanna ^^).

For that i obviously have to get it a bit lower as well. And well, since i'm at it, i also want to make it be a little lower (1-2 cm max!) on the front than the rear, giving it the 90s tuning look. Now, what's the better option?

- use different sized tyres which will stress the diffs a bit. Here i ask myself: how much stress are we talking about? I mean, the diff is meant to handle things like this, no? Or is the permanent stress too much?
OR
- simply get shorter shocks in the front (the front shocks for the Corally Spark are 107mm while the Asuga ones are 117mm, which would give me a rather simple solution. Sadly the back will not be lowered at all by this and i would still need a solution to get the overall chassis to be lower

Another solution would be a fully set of new shocks. I'm looking at either some Pro-Line ones (but they seem too soft in the base setup and would require springs as well) or TLR ones ( TLR243048 & TLR243049) which would give me 110 and 123mm. That would make them 7 & 6mm lower overall than the standard ones. Might not be enough though.

Any other suggestions?
Mind you, i am sitting in the EU and parts don't come as easy here as in the US

If you're interested on my building progress, you can check on it in the Corally forums. Actual stuff starting at page 3.

you can use the shocks you have all you need to do is put a shock travel limiter inside the shock to stop the piston from full descending in the shock cylinder. I've used nitro fuel line before ..c

Stupid question...I'm not familiar with the Asuga...does it not have droop screws?

I have been suggested this as well by a local mate of mine. Would limit me in the possibility to quickly change my setup though.
While i do go for road drifting i still wanna be able to quickly change my car to be able to drive on the beach and dunes. Limiters seem rather a not so fast solution. Shocks themselves are changed rather quickly compared to that, no ?

No clue, will check later.

Wasn't around my Asuga today but the other cars have it, so i assume the Asuga has them as well @N.Mango

I simply decided to go for a rather easy solution:

- put front shocks in the back
- buy front Spark OEM shocks
- put those in the front
- problem solved (i suppose - will see when everything else arrives)

The simplest solution is shorter springs. Droop screws or internal shock limiters are not for adjusting the ride height. Spring length and the adjustment collars (or preload spacers) set the ride height.

Front shocks to the rear and even shorter ones to the front sounds good too.

Thought so as well, as stated above.

Will test this first and see if i can get golden adjustment collars that fit the Corally springs to stay with my color scheme.
