what about changing the front suspension?  reinforce the front subframe
and add tabs to carry another link to the upright.  this removes the
locating function of the antiroll bar.  then you'd have to come up with
some way to connect an antiroll bar to the strut, spindle, or control arm.

i thought about this while struggling to separate the spindle from the
balljoint so i could replace the balljoint boot.  (i gave up in disgust
after unbolting the antiroll bar and discovering that i still couldn't
separate the spindle from the balljoint.)
