lowering?

i have lowered a diplomat 60mm looked good and the latest 40mm which looks normal, so how can you get them even lower (using 14 inch rims)

Re: c18nz revving

did the same before changing but has improved, as the cap was pitted and plugs were worn down with a massive gap. i used ngk with gaps checked.
no obvious signs of a leak
