setting up a womp

i am working on setting up my Womp and was wondering if any one has any information about seeting them up. it is a steel chassis and it has a super 16d. i had bent and twisted the chassis at the front so when you push down on the front tyres it ever so slightly lifts the opposite rear when the tye touches the block.
i have read that the lower you get the chassis the better it will handle and would like to find out how to get the rear of the car lower.
any advice any one can give will be much appreciated as i am trying to build a good handling super fast Womp for a bit fun.

notice how the rear end moves up and down like an elevator wing on the rear of a plane. A couple bits of piano wire will fix that. The movement can upset the gearmesh and robb you of speed too.
Maybe you could deliberately bend the rear end skywards a bit, dropping the ride hight of the mojority of the chassis, and try a hypoid type drive.
