Yeah, what he said!

Here is a pic of the procedure on one of my personal cars. At the end of the day your simply changing the relationship between the pivot point (Control Arm Shaft) and the Ball Joint. Weather you do it with a tall spindle (raising the ball joint) or lowering the pivot point (lowering the control arm shaft) the net effect is very similar.

If you go to the tall spindle there are really only 2 options one the ATS has a 7/8" drop. I would not recomend the 2" drop spindles with a high back space wheel as they tend to cause clearance issues.
generally the qa1 kit will get the car down as low as you need it.
We are also going to begin developing the same style of coil over set up using the Ridetech shocks and a swivel top mount using a true coil over shock.
OR there is the Chicane upper conversion, using either QA1 or Ridetech coil overs. with the combination of upper/lower arms, swaybar.

how many options would you like???
hope that answers the ?'s
sorry to jump in Frank
Thanks Frank... You have answered all my questions.

All I have to do now is save up for the front suspension.
