the Mustang guys are doing this on thier older cars in the front suspension.

>>>Well, the Mustang guys HAVE to do it because there is a fundamental flaw 
in their stock geometry.  As the front suspension is compressed, the camber 
undergoes a DRASTIC positive camber shift, very bad.  Repositioning the upper 
a-arm  allows you to dial this out.  I don't think the Pantera has that 
problem at all.

Mike (yes my GT-350 has repositioned a-arms!)
