Thought exercise: lowering Boxster to Cup height

Now that I’ve got the drivetrain running on the track car I want to turn my attention to the suspension. Like the drivetrain setup I want to do something creative with the suspension, I’ve already widened the front suspension by 8”s. For starters I’d like to drop the suspension to a cup height. There are a few ways that come to mind:
1) buy two sets of front cup wheel carriers (there are a ton of small problems with this approach and a lot of cost)
2) modify the control arms to accept a raised ball joints (old school approach)
3) make a bracket that bolts to the stock control arm location and raises the attachment point so the control arm angle is acceptable. This would require widening the car (only a problem in the rear
4)?

What do you guys think, how would you do it?

Bonus points, has anyone adapted a 996 rear subframe to a Boxster? Seems…doable
