Tubular Lower Control Arm Thread

1) Move the upper mount over and up higher then tie it into a strut bar.
2) Mount the shock like you see and use a smaller shock, but be careful, when you go with a smaller shock the full travel of the shock is only about 2.5"
3) Drop Spindles.

These are options or must do's ?

The car is hopefully going to be a 10 second car. So IDK if the smaller shock is a good idea. I want to be able to be safe but be lower in the front.
