HOw do you get the front of the quad a little lower to look more racey? Is this from putting extended a-arms on it? Sorry if i dont seem to know what im talking about..

SSD or ZPS shocks is the best way...

ssd is self sagging device and zps is zero preload system, these will squat lower but still have suspension travel. some brands with these style shocks are elka, axis, pep, TCS and some works. they will make it sit lower and also improve handling greatly

If you soften up the shocks a little it will make it a little lower when you sit on it. It's not really noticable, but if your riding on a track I wouldn't soften them up just to get it a couple of cetimeters lower, they will bottom out like crazy. There is also a lowering kit, I think Durablue sells them. I not shure if it's ment for track riding, just for TT. I'm pretty shure you will bottom out with this to since it makes it so much lower. I'm pretty shure those stock shocks will bottom out no matter what you do.

just my 2cents:ermm:

It takes $$$ to get them to look like that. Aftermarket shocks, will drop it down.

My grandpa told me a couple good things when i started racing about 10 years ago...(1) worry about riding and not about looking cool...(2) If it dont go chrome it. But like these guys said ZPS is the only way.
