Default Experimenting with Front Alignment

On cool days I drive my MINI Cooper S, a small car, 97" wheelbase, handles like a gocart. In fact, I like the handling of the Cooper better than the handling of my Cobra. The Cooper feels planted, the Cobra feels like it's on it's tippy-toes. (Yes, I know, the Cobra is never going to be a 2004-equivalent supercar, but I can certainly improve what I've got.)

So I got to thinking, what if I played around with the front end alignment on my Cobra. I've got a 94" wheelbase Classic Roadsters Cobra. Front end is Mustang II based. As everyone is aware, aligning a Mustang II based front suspension is a PITA.

After reviewing the postings here I've come up with a potential solution. Over at www.polepositionrp.com they've got an adjustable upper a-arm (picture below). These adjustable a-arms should allow me to make alignment adjustments with significantly greater ease.

Comments? Suggestions?
