Subaru WRX...Lowering Question (PMan need your help ;))

Ok...so i am almost done with my Sube. Just need to paint the window rubbers and put in the rear lights and the decals on. I am going to lower it too. The front dropped with no problems at all. It just went down when i pushed. Now, as for the rear end, it is hard to drop. It looks silly being high up in the air like that. It looks bad IMO. Does it look good to you guys? Anyone have some directions on an easy way to lower the rear? PMan i know you mentioned in your gallery that you dropped it by cutting. What did you do? Thanks all. Hope you can help.

Probably because it's so easy to do, that nobody cares. Just glue the brake disk a little higher, and get rid of whatever interferes with the shaft with a file.

Ditto
I think for memory i made small spacers that fitted inside the rim but where slighty offset so the wheel sat higher into the guard
