      Increase G-body track width/decrease scrub?

      Has anyone here done this? Obviously a stock front suspension with dish wheels has a nasty scrub radius, I'm exploring options to cut that down and run a deeper backspace wheel. I'm thinking the best option may be to relocate lower A-Arm mounts outward in order to maintain a reasonable (read: stock) length lower arm, realizing that I'll have to run coilovers outboard the frame and lengthen my tie rod arrangement. I'd also relocate my upper mounts outboard a certain amount to create the camber curve I want.

      I don't mind the lengthened tie rod option, since I plan to run heim outer ends with an arrangement to adjust my bumpsteer. I also don't mind the idea of running coilovers, since it will be a better system with them anyway. I plan to run high-caster for stability and the negative camber gain while cornering.



      Anyway, just wondering if any of you have experimented with this at all, hope I'm not too far off my rocker with my plans.

      Thanks in advance.

      ETA: I wasn't thinking too well about the LCA when I posted this, better plan would be to build a longer LCA to move the LBJ outboard, then move my UCA mount/pivot point outboard. This would work with either the stock spring bucket or the coilover setup I mention earlier. Anyway, let me know if you've had experience with any of this, I'm sure Savitske is the guy to talk to, I'm sure they've at least tried this?
