Here's a modification to get more progressive damping than what is possible with the standard shock mounting locations.
Front shock tower:
Follow the instructions in the figure below.

The modified shock tower should look like this:
Rear shock tower:
At the rear tower, the body mount holes are used to mount the shocks. The picture below pretty much explains it all.

Putting screws in the shock caps a la Yokomo makes it much easier to bleed the shocks. Bleeding now takes half the time and it's much easier to regulate the shocks internal pressure.
When I modified my shocks, I used a 1/16" (1.59mm) drill bit and some Kyosho 2mm self-threading screws.
WARNING! It's very important that the hole on the inside of the cap is at the top, or it'll be difficult to bleed the shocks correctly.
