ask yourself - do you want to be able to revert back? if not, then the tried and true approach is to just relocate the inner mounting points a bit higher. a few hours with a skilled welder and you are there. it is amazing what they can do.

otherwise, it's nothing to make a control arm - mcmaster carr, some rod ends, some turn buckles. lock nuts, cone spacers, etc. now, the boxster lca is a bit of a bear, but others have done the work already. find an aftermarket lca with serviceable ball joint on one end and/or a rod end inner mount. then google "extended ball joint" (your #2) or "offset rod end" for ideas on how to maintain your lca geometry on a lowered car.

My current control arms are from McMasterCarr actually.. I like your idea of just welding on a higher control arm point. This car is absolutely not in a “revert back” situation.
