Ive looked into this too, not really for racing but for riding the trails in winter.
I was trying to find a rear lowering kit but no luck, that was a while ago however.

yeah i cant find a lowing kit either so im running stock shocks on LT arms and adjusted my rear shock so it sits a little lower

Are you guys looking for a way to lower the rear ends? I learned a very easy and cheap way to do it. If you like the way your positioning is as the quad is stock then my way would be ideal.
Buy a rear linkage pullrod bar off of ebay. Find a good welding buddy. Cut the two arms off somewhere in the middle. Weld additional metal into the linkage to elongate the linkage.
What I just found was that by adding just a one inch to the length, the rear will lower 4 inches at the grab-bar..
