No pics yet, I WISH they were back from welding...
Yes, for coilovers. I didn't think the single shock bolt sticking out was strong enough so I drilled it out and replaced it with a much larger hardened bolt that I pressed in. It worked but still looked weak. I am now having a piece of 1/4" plate welded to the arm in a large triangle shape and a pair of tabs welded to that. Makes it a double shear config on the shock bolt instead of a single side load. Doing the same up on the top mount, I'll post pics as soon as I get them back and everybody can give opinions on my design .
