I have never understood the desire to have adjustment at the upper A-arms.  
 Given that all the alignment adjustments are made below, you don't really 
need *adjustable* upper A-arms, you just need *longer* upper A-arms.   
Longer arms will send the tops of the hub carriers out a fixed amount, and then 
you can tweak the alignment in the normal fashion with shims down below.

As far as I know, only Precision Proformance (and maybe Hall Pantera???) 
sells fixed-length extended A-arms.   They are much less expensive than the 
adjustable versions, use the stock ball joints, and do everything you need.   
Very highly recommended. :>)
