Another way of lowering the front suspension, while at the same time adding some much needed negative camber, is to lower the two tabs on the bottom of the spindle housing. Have a good welding shop add enough material to lower the hole 1 inch and move the hole 0.200 inch INBOARD. This will give you an inch lower front suspension, WITHOUT reducing the total shock travel. I have seen cars lowered so much that the shocks only have 1/4 inch travel left. NOT GOOD.
Now that you have it lowered, you also need to look at the upper arm inclination. Most cars like having the upper trunnion moved higher. We make a kit for doing this at Scuderia Topolino. While you are at it, you may want to reverse the ball joints so that the nut is on the bottom. This eliminates much of the bump steer inherent in the front geometry.
Scuderia Topolino has a similar arrangement to that shown from Vizza Motorsport with a cross member and a-arms. We complete our system with a front sway bar kit and also 20 position coilover shock absorbers. We have the same 20 position adjustables for the rear as well.
