I always thought front coilovers like this would be the way to go: http://www.ebay.com/itm/OPEN-BOX-SP...er-Kit-fits-QA1-qa-1-Components-/161711181638 Where the upper end of the taper wound spring would fit in the stock position. Just need to make adapters for the lower mounts.
I think I'm the guy the OP is thinking of for moving the lower ball joint. I did it as an experiment to look at ride height. It was too low for me so I never drove it that way. But if you want to try, I cut the mounting pieces off two old BJ's and put them in the stock location, set the new BJ's on top of the lower control arm and installed appropriate length grade 8 bolts through both pieces. Lowered the car about 50mm, that is all!
