Coilovers on stock lower A-arms??

[Chucks73]

Looking for some info. Has anyone done Coilovers with the stock lower A arms? Just wondering because of putting all that stress on the old shock bolt holes.

Yes, i don't have pictures. We reinforced the lower pocket with 1/8" mild steel and set the lower c/o mount closer to the lower ball joint. We did modify the spring pocket abit.

I have it on the stock a-arms, It has held up fine, but it hasn't seen any hard conditions. I would reinforce it if i wasn't going to change the lowers.
