K - Members and control Arms

[Martin0660]

Does anyone know of a tubular k-memember / a-arm set up that DOES NOT change the wheel base? I'm just starting to lok into these, but dont think my wheel / tire combo could tolerate being moved forward.

Actually, the car has a SVO k-member and a-arms now (It's odd). The ideal situation for me would be just a tubular SN95 a-arm and brake/spindle, but keep the k-member stock. When the wheel base is changed with these set-up's, is it in the arm or the k-member that moves it?

Just looking into this now, thoughts are appreciated.

Unless the K-Member is poorly manufactured, your wheel base really shouldn't change. The track width however is something many people change for different reasons, this is done by using longer or shorter A-Arms

Bob,

At least with the Maximum Motorsports stuff, it's the k-member that will change the wheelbase. Check out their installation instructions for more info.

The MM unit moves it minimally if I remember correctly, like less than an inch?????

Mike,

You're right. The MM unit extends the wheelbase by 3/4 of an inch.
