Idea two.... The black rear quarter, behind the driver's seat sticks out too far towards the rear wheel arch....Replace the beam attached to the underneath with a 12 hole beam (black or white work equally well, I happened to have a couple of black ones), and put a peg pointing downwards in the second hole from the back so it sits between the two grey beams that hold the rear suspension...Because of that peg you have to push the panels into place extra firmly to get a bit of flex, but that rear pin stops the panels sticking out to the arches. If you use a 13 hole beam (like me) you must also allow one hole forward of the black panel, so the end of the beam wedges under the angled beam that goes up to the roof securing pin. It raises the end of the angled beam a little, but the securing pin works fine and the roof line is more or less unchanged as far as I can see.

If you scroll back through the above you'll find there are a couple of ideas for simply applying obstructions to limit the suspension arms' downward travel. The simplest way to do it is to put a short beam under the arms, pinned to the existing chassis. The Rebrickable idea has its merits if you're only ever going to look at the model, locking the suspension out all together and it does look good that low (but might as well strip it and rebuild without the coil springs and use them for something else if you're going to do that; it's problematic if you're going to put a lighting kit in the car, like I did, because any lights under the extreme front will be sitting on the ground). Just going to post two or three ideas I had to make small differences to the RSR....here's the first. I got a bit fed up with the doors not quite shutting. Left over parts included two extra (silly) domed wheel nuts, which can hold the doors very well, and also straighten out the door/bodywork line a bit:
