They make something called a lower control arm relocator. Any of this sites sponsors sell them and they will correct that angle problem you have and will help eliminate traction issues mainly the wheel hop you will experience in a lowered car.

^ uhh.. a lower control arm relocation bracket is for the rear end of the car. it allows you to correct the lower control arm angle after lowering (for traction during launching and/or adjusting roll oversteer).

your upper ball joints... they do have adjustable a-arm kits out there like this one http://www.umiperformance.com/catalo...roducts_id=143 but i'm not sure if that is the *fix* you're looking for. i'd suggest posting up a picture and your question in the suspension section.
