Yes, I did it and gained 0.5 inches.  You can just swap the A arms on the
same axle, no need to swap side to side.

Greetings

I'm fitting coilovers to the front of the car and I need to find some more
shock travel, I'm too close to bottom now.

I plan to shim the entire spring pan down to 1" with aluminum bar stock to
extend the shock.

I have heard you can also invert the wishbones and swap sides ( left to
right ) and I was wondering if anyone has ever done it.

Just by some rough measurements I should be able to gain an addition 5/8" of
shock travel with that alone.

Has anyone done it ?
