    You have the wrong length shocks, damper hitting the tie rod and a hard ride. The spring on the front almost flat, therefore there is no or very little sideways movement on the shackles.
    In my opinion, there has been a lot of things sacrificed to get a lower riding car, there usually are, mines no different, thats why i'm increasing the ride height on my roadster.
    Rather than change the shocks or mounts, why not get a new spring with more arch built in it? this will cure most things in one go? and hopefully the roadster's stance will not be affected too much.
    I wouldn't flip the front spring and certainly not without getting the profile altered and retempering. Cheaper to get a new spring.
