[QUOTE=dennis68]Going to a shorter control requires running less offset to maintain track width, that means increasing already bad scrub radius to big time bad scrub radius, maybe unsafe scrub radius. Shortening control arms also changes the location of the lower ball joint which is one of 4 determing points for figuring roll center height and front view swing arm length.
OK, Denny, I understand what you're saying about SR, but if I'm already running these wheels, and just need to move them inboard for fender clearance, the control arms won't change SR...Correct? From what I was just reading about SR, the line between the ball joints as well as the centerline of my wheels/tires is still a constant, it's just the whole assembly moves inboard 1" on each side. As for the roll center I'm still trying to understand that as it relates for my car, but this car will see minimal track time.
