wheel base = the distance of front / rear tire.
long wheel base example => bus.. cornering is very slow!!!

Darren's article only spoke about shortening the front of the rear wishbone.
But if you do shorten the wheelbase, the following is true:
Move the rear wheels forward will place more static weight on the front wheels.
Moving the front wheels rearward will place more static weight on the rear wheels.
So in effect, you could counterbalance the weight change from the back to the front by shortening the rear of the front wishbones but all this would do is make the car shorter. This is a different effect to putting more weight on the front for more steering.
Hope this helps.

Shortening the wheelbase from the rear puts more weight to the front?

Tried the Spool setup today that Muppet suggested.
Very interesting setup that ran very well.
Only hassle i had was i started with 35w GS shock oil and have to go a little thicker to 40w or 45w due to the track being a little bit bumpy in sections.
The spool was actually very niced to drive with even with our track having 3 hairpin corners.
I ran with softer shocks other than that everything was setup as per the setup sheet.Car was very stabil and reacted well.The steering was more than ample.
I also was rather happy in that the morning session i had the car reasonably good on 42 shore tyres but after lunch the guys decided to sugar the track again and i had to go down to 40 shore all round although 40f/38r i think would have been perfect.
Track has been a bit difficult to find the right tyre combo since we resurfaced it a month back.
Possibly the extra sugar put on today has glased it and i hope for a little rain before Wednesday as the nats start on Thursday with open practice.
Id suggest guys keeping this setup as a base setup when running the spool.It realy is a good setup.

Think you guys should look at the CRF package deal with pipe etc..
good value for money.
The JLR though is a excellent engine too.
