LCA relocation brackets. Buy them from the same place you plan to buy your LCA's from.

Bingo.

To elaborate a bit, when you lowered the car, you decreased the angle of the lcas, the relocation brackets move the bolt holes lower on the axel, to compensate for the axle being 'higher' (compared to the car), thus restoring the origional angle.

Like the others said, get the LCAs and LCA relocation brackets... after that, go with an aftermarket torque arm. Also make sure you get some sticky tires, like Nitto drag radials... that will help with traction too.
