I welded 3 pieces of steel on the bottom of the control arms up front to stop flexing of the arm when you lean to that side during a corner, thus increasing your handling. If you try it though, make sure the steel is thick enough not to flex with the arm, and you weld it in places that doesn’t block the tension rods holes, stabilizer connecting rod bolt, or the ball joint.

Good stuff. I like simple ideas like that.
