You cannot mechanically seperate the 'lower abs.' The rectus abdominus is one muscle. Different neural recruitment will occur from whether the distal or proximal segment (or both) is the moving aspect, placing strain on the area, but not isolating it.

Reverse crunches on a swiss ball or a decline/sit up bench work very well. Also, swiss ball jack-knives and as mentioned above, any type of leg raises will put more stress on the lower abs.
