Re: Rear Uprights

With regard to the 'Wide Track' version, why go this way rather than fabricate longer top/bottom links etc. With this 'new' upright the wheel/tyre combo will have more leverage over the upright under acceleration/braking resulting in higher loads on the outer rod ends and increase the tendency to toe in/out in these conditions, especially if the rear rims are not widened inboard. Just the same as fitting rims with a large outboard offset to the front- the scrub radius goes to pot.
