I have an idea and need information regarding LCA lowering brackets. It may be possible to incorporate a lowering hole in the rear bracket of bolt-on subframe connectors. There should only be one set of holes for lowering so locating those holes will be critical for proper suspension geometry. I need to know where they should be in relation to the existing LCA to body mounting holes.
As usual I have been inspired by another board member. Thank you Mr Ramundo.

the LCA lowering brackets mount on the axle, not the body.

Don, I must be missing something... Aren't the LCA's "adjusted" (usually lowered) utilizing relocation brackets where the rear of the LCA mounts, ...on the axle?? How is changing the forward LCA bracket (on the body) going to help LCA angle? (...just trying to understand,... THANKS...) Kevin
...just to note, (you may have seen my other post about my LCA angle), ...with the Bilstein setup, ...my LCA's need to be lowered in the rear (ie. relocation brackets, ...on axle), ....the only thing that 'could' help up front is if the front hole was HIGHER than stock, ...but that front hole is in the body and can't be adjusted.

This is confusing????? Why would one need to adjust the mounting hole of the BODY lower control arm mount????
I was always under the assumption that the axle mount was the part that typically neede to be adjusted? Please edjumacate me if I am wrong.

Sorry You are all correct. I should have stopped and thought about it for just a little longer.
If the rear of the car is lowered pushing the axle up then the axle's mount would have to be lowered to make the LCA parallel to the ground.
