front lower control arms
is there a company that makes this??? instead of just pulling in the top of the tire you could pull in the bottom of the tire makeing a smaller stance and going lower or tucking more??? just a thought if its stupid flame all you want i guess
think that would work i have a guy here with a cad machine and he said if figured everything out he could make it so i was gonna see if this would even work??? i think it would but would it be as good as a upper control arm

Dude, forget about it. It's obvious that you are not fully aware of what the lower control arm does as an integral part of the suspension package. Read up on how suspensions work and some more on stress analysis before undertaking any project of this nature.

pffffttt... who needs all that. its not like companies like omnipower do any of this, look at how successful they are.

Well, just my opinion here, but you might want to try actually putting in the effort to spell words correctly and make use of punctuation if you want more people to reply. With writing like that, you look lazy, stupid, ignorant, or a combination of the 3. </rant>
That aside, pulling in the bottom of the tire probably wouldn't be the smartest thing to do. This is all speculation on my part, but it would think it hurt handling. Remember the Pontiac commercials? "Wider is better." Also, consider the structural load the LCAs have to take with both shock and swaybar mounts before you just fab up something and slap it on.
If you really just want the slammed look, which will ride and probably handle like complete crap, pull the plastic fender liners, roll the fenders, get some Skunk2 UCAs to add negative camber and maybe Ingalls rear camber kit to pull in the back tires as well, pound in the inner fender where necessary for clearance, and run a 205/40-16 to decrease the total tire diameter and make the car sit even lower, and of course, the Koni/GC combo with the GC top hats with very stiff springs. Mount the shocks lower than stock in the front forks to get even more suspension travel. All the negative camber should help the tires tuck, the GC sleeves will let you slam the ride, and you'll need all the additional travel to stay off the bumpstops. Slizzamed y0!

You should understand that a lot of people in this forum would rather have functionality over form out of their cars. They are not looking to tuck their tires at the risk of poor handling and performance, or worse. And also understand that a car's suspension is fairly complex, and it would take a good deal of time and effort to design something like what you are talking about, which would have no performance gains at all in the end. Which is to say, a guy with CAD and only looking to enhance the looks of the car should not be designing suspension components.
btw, if you only pull in the bottom of the tire, you are not narrowing the stance; you're giving it a bunch of positive camber. Your car will look bowlegged from the front, and it wouldn't help you tuck the tires at all.

use a wheel with a lot of negative offset.
