There are several good ways already shown. The lower arms need bracing forward and back and a bonus is if the hub carriers are too. The lower arms can be braced and also bridge the weld with something like this.

I have also seen tubular braces added to these arms instead.
I have also seen urethane bushed radius rods in the fore aft position. Yet another option is to add radius rods to the front/rear or both of the lower arms so they theoretically don't change length. It's a bolt on attempt to make a tubular boxed lower arm.

I like the function of the Unique/Arntz brace but not the look of the size and the mounting hanging below the car.
I would do something to beef up the arm if I wasn't going to do anything else. Anything in addition or instead is a bonus.
