Lowering the rear

I'm looking for some ideas to lower the rear end of my R. I would like to lower it for some dirt drags and thought I would see what ideas you guys might have. I know that there are lowering struts I can buy, but I'm looking for something I might be able to make myself or something. Any ideas or pics...please post em!

Thanks

actually, they do do that up here for ice racing. its preaty funny, but it works like a charm. theres no bumps in the ice, so it doesnt really hurt. but its funny watching guys come flyin past with their front end up and back end almost draggin on ground
