just starting off the thread. so far from what I can gather the most applicable options would be:
A) a 4 bolt swap with the LCA's boxed in and delrin bushings pressed in.
B) press out the oem bushings in two bolt LCA's and the reinforce them somehow, either by boxing with a plate welded on the bottom, or with small dom tubing welded against the outer rolled edge of the triangle as bracing, and then welding or pressing in steel adapters for spherical joints.
option B would be more widely applicable and would probably be the best solution for most cars since 4 bolt subframes aren't widely available and would be more labor intensive for anyone attempting to install the new arms...
on the other hand, option b would clearly be the easiest to produce and would require the least custom work in the development of the arms...
I'll just leave it here for discussion, maybe some experts will join in...
