there should be more then one hole for u shocks to screw into it'll be right near where there screwed into now and u can jsut move them to a different spot but some cars can only be lowed but if u can make it higher it might make it way harder to control
give it a shot if u can
just mess around with it just remember how it is before u mess with it just encase u don't like it

What type of shocks do you have? If you have coils you can lower the nut.

Use preload spacers if you don't have threaded shocks...

Like Cliff said though you lose handling you want the car as low as pos so you would be better off finding a flatter place to run it
