I have always liked the look of lowered bodies. I think the stock body height is just WAY to high. So I just cut up my front mounts like this. I chopped the posts off the sides and shortened them. I then drilled a hole up the center of each mount, and drilled a whole in the top of my shock mount. I then just screwed some 3mm screws into it. You can see where I filed away some plastic for tool access.

As for the backs, I cut some really short mounts (from a pack of HPI Body Mounts) and bolted them through the shock tower. This is extremely strong, and theres been no trouble with it.
