I am going to take a look this afternoon in the wheelwell again, but after finding this picture on Rocky Road's website my idea may not work.
I have pretty much convinced myself the whole engine cradle can be lowered 1-1/2" along with the transmission crossbar lowered 1-1/2". Lowering the front subframe with steel or aluminum spacers and longer grade 10.9 fasteners. Next was to lengthen the lower section of the steering column shaft between the last two u-joints. The 1-1/2" is the max because the headers are getting very close to the steering column u-joint. If I was running stock exhaust manifolds 2" may have been possible.
But I also thought there was room to re-drill holes 1-1/2" lower for the Upper Arm pivot points. With the way the body is constructed in that area, that may not be possible unless a section was cut out and new welded in.

Yeah there's not much room there to lower the UCAs. That pic doesn't show it very well, but the region beneath the pivots also slopes outwards.... so to lower then straight down you'd have to cut out everything there and weld in custom braces.
Lowering the engine cradle eh? I think ill continue focusing on saving for the SL lol.
