My advice:

>>Have your front upper control arms modified for increased caster & elongate the holes to allow for more negative camber adjustment, add the camber locks.

>>Add an adjustable rear camber bar. (If the chassis has taken a "set" to the point that the proper rear wheel camber is no longer achievable, then adjustable upper control arms for the rear wheels are called for)

>>Replace the control arm bushings using oem style rubber bushings.

>>Install a 7/8" rear anti-sway bar (or 1" front & rear)

>>Install spherical anti-sway bar ends front & back

>>Install spring height adjustable & dampening adjustable gas shocks & springs in the range of 300-400 lbs/inch front, 400-600 lbs/inch rear.

>>Have the lower rear control arms powder coated as they are the ones that are seen by other motorists.

>>Adjust the ride height of your car so the rear control arms are parallel with the ground, then lower the front end to level the car, or a bit more to give it a nose down stance.

>>Shop for wheels using weight as a major criteria, you want the lightest wheel/tire package you can find/afford.

>>4 wheel alignment & 4 corner weighting by someone who understands the Pantera chassis.

This transforms the car's handling, maintains good ride characteristics, doesn't break the bank.
