Very nice job.

I've been thinking to do that as well but in Holland it's not allowed to weld on controlarms.
So i hope they wont notice it the way i did it the next inspection.

Well, the control arms are installed. I'm happy with the result. Nice straight springs. No fading any more.  I needed only 1 spacer to level it up. (less then a inch) :) The control arms are painted with a 1K coating.
