Here is your answer... run the s4 lower control arms which have a removable ball joint from the control arm like so... Then you put a spacer between this and the control arm to drop the control arm.

^ that doesnt do anything

in order to change the roll center you need to space the ball joint down from the spindle. and no, there are no kits for this. i've been barking up Frijolee's tree over on norotors.com to engineer some up, but most seem to think it wont be worth the cost.

The more ideal way is with a revised drop-spindle, so that you don't change the upper and lower ball joint locations relative to each other.

FC is mac strut- only lower ball joint and the strut top. besides, drop spindles are $$$$
