How do you guys lower your cars?

In preperation for car week, Im revisiting some old customs to try and add some details, adding rubber wheels, decals that I have, and the like.

Yesterday I got wheels from a guy on IG (710panda- Im sure some of you know who Im talking about), and I added them too cars that are done but were just awaiting the wheels.

The Problem is, the only guide I can find is this:

Which is all fun and food, but my car(s) have metal bases and broke the tabs off to liberate the RRs, so I cant rest them on top. Not to mention Im not looking to slam them, just lower it about a corresponding inch or two in 1:1 scale (so I guess... 1:64 of an inch?)

Anyway, how do you guys make minute changes to a cars stance?

Heres another Car week teaser aswell.
