Since the lower link is angled from the frame inward to the axle my mounts are somewhat like you recommend, but I don't know if enough. Where did you have your lower mounts - on the link or on the axle? IronBender made the arms specifically for coilovers, but then again I had to do some grinding to make them fit. You've got me thinking now cratchhe:
