This lowers the inboard pick up points of the camber struts, lowers the roll
center, and reduces camber gain during roll.  I'm not convinced it's the hot
setup for the later reason.

I was told by someone in the know that a key update part for a pre-88 C4 is
to use the 88's lower control arm mounting brackets.  These, I'm told, lower
the mounting position of the arms to the rear end, and supposely help things
like toe change under hard cornering.  I'm wondering if it may also help
this "jacking" that is described.

I haven't put them on yet, but I hope to have them done this weekend, if the
weather is good.
