Josiah,
Do you have an email address we can keep in contact or pref. a instant message ID for ICQ, Yahoo messenger, etc...

X2 you would end up with major alignment issues. You would have a ton of negative camber (i believe). You tires would look like this : \ / Which will also lead to dangerous tire wear, increased ball joint stress and wear, possibly even a rougher ride.
Dont do it.
And if you insist on doing it you will need to get a shorter upper control arm to get you back to true and alligned.

That is true what your saying but that's if u only drop the holes directly down but I've done it the key is to figure out the angle of the spindle so when I dropped mine I dropped 2 inches straight down and I believe back 1/4 inch I don't remember exactly what it was but when u do it u have to be smart about it not only did I still new holes I reinforced it with 1/4 inch steel but it can be done u just need to take the time and think and rethink how ur going to do it... But anyways they actually make relocation brackets now
