  I don't trust my memory, and I'm in New York City until tomorrow. Let me get 
home and measure the stuff. I am referring to the upper fulcrum pin on top of 
the shock tower, and it did get moved inwards, but my upper arm length I'm not 
so sure of.

Bill, I got lost on this part. Are you calling the pivot points, the
upper fulcrum pin, that is on top of the shock tower? If that is
inwards 1.5 inches, and the arms 1 inch shorter, then you have
efectively moved the top ball joint inwards 2.5 inches, and must have
10+degrees of camber. I don't think so. Where have I gone wrong?
