Sure. Koni makes a double-adjustable aluminum body pro racing coil-over, 
and D. Quellas sells them along with the required adapters to fit Pantera 
shock-mount bolts. They cost considerably more than the same coil-over in steel 
and are a whole 12 ounces (3/4 lb) lighter each.... so decide if you'll 
really use such a thing enough to justify the cost. Konis are also rebuildable 
and revalveable if you decide you need custom valving. 
On our street Pantera, I'm happy with our single-adjustable steel-bodied 
gas-Konis, which can be mounted upside-down for extremely low unsprung weight. 
Good luck- J DeRyke
