Has anyone lowered a Tamiya R32 GTR?

I desperatly need to lower my Tamiya GTR as it sits way too high on the rims I have selected. The problem is that it looks very complex to lower because there is a large amount of parts that need to be modified. Can anyone who has done this before tell me how they did it? This is my first shot at lowering a car so I have no idea what I am doing. Thanks for your help.

BTW the rims are Fujimi 17 inch Advan RG's. Any tips on how to fit these to the car would be great too.

I have begun a second GTR but it's not finished. I have some pics of the modification chassis, I hope that help you:



The follow pic show you the lowering (maximum), I think your choice for 17" it's good:


For the front I don't know.

For the front my problem is the suspension, with the Fujimi is not a problem you cut the suspension but with the Tamiya I don't know......

Perhaps cut and shorten every parts, that get in the way?
You also need to bend the front axis and and lower A-arm.
