You do get less arm sweep which does give a longer wheelbase, this is correct. However keep in mind when you replace the zero degree rear hub with the 1 degree hub, your adding back in the toe angle you removed from the pins. This should help offset that wheelbase adjustment from the outer hub.
Thats why if you run ARS, and take as much angle out of the arm as possible (RF 1out, RR 1in), even putting 2mm behind the rear arm still gives a longer wheelbase than kit. Hence why the 2deg rear C-hubs are used to help shorten the wheelbase further.

Using 2° Inboard and 1° outboard will affect several parts of the geometry. It does swing the arm back and makes the wheelbase longer as pointed out earlier. It also stands the rear shock up more by moving the bottom of the shock more towards the chassis. Finally, it causes the rear camber link to be shorter because the arm is not so “long” by being swept so far forward.
This does have an effect on the balance of the car. It will transfer more weight to the nose faster on corner entry which will make the car turn in a little harder. I also believe the shorter camber link helps to free the car up a little in the center of the corner while the shock being more upright doesnt allow as much roll as I believe shortening the link from the outside would cause (based on some other camber link testing I’ve done a while back).
hope this helps!

I see on the European websites there is a 2 degree Aluminum Hub. Can you talk to how this affects the car vs the 1 degree. Does this mean you would set inboard to 1 degree? When does this make sense?

P.S. I race with Ryan. I have been nominated by everyone at our track to torment him whenever possible. As you were.

I don’t believe this part is in production currently. I just got a set to test but haven’t had a chance to run them yet. Hoping to test this part mid-February. I think it will be good on black carpet in most conditions but can’t really give you a good answer yet.
