I would recommend trimming the fender instead of the A-arms. Narrowing up the control arms can cause some funky things to happen with the steering/suspension geometry. We normally trim the fender as close as we can to the hood edge and add a support/brace piece. It can be done to look really clean.

It would still be nice to have an extra inch... that's one nice thing about the Dropmember.
