The bolt pattern is different from top to bottom so you can't just flip the hangers over.

Buy new hangers from Mancini Racing or Firm Feel. The new hangers come with a second eye bolt location.

Dropped my car more than one inch as you can see in this picture I put together. The top two are obviously before I flipped the front mounts.
