The narrow's are not going to give you more forward bite, they are going to decrease rear roll resistance in the corners, providing more rear traction throughout the corner. Any time the car is rolling, off throttle or on throttle, the narrows will provide slightly better rear traction. If the car isn't rolling at all, (i.e. taking off in a straight line), there will be no difference.

your a winner. not sure who pee'd in your cheerios, but I will be up in phx in a couple weeks at w3, your more than welcome to further discuss your issues with me in person. cats eat gophers, just say'in

The way it was explained to me is that moving the wheels further in provides forward traction. Because more of the weight is directly over the wheels. Move the wheels out would then provide more side to side stability. And yes it would also affect roll centers.

You were misinformed. Narrow blocks = gain in side bite compared to wide blocks. Distance the wheels are from the chassis has no effect on weight over the wheel.

Think of a long plank sitting on top of 2 paint cans. Now stand on the plank. You can move the cans the same distance from the centre anywhere under the plank and your weight on each can remains the same.

Moving the wheels forward or back would change the weight distribution, not moving them in or out.

While I agree that longer camber links increases roll resistance , it seems like a narrower wheel base would cause more roll. Because the weight up high is the same but your narrowing the stance. If you put yohr feet together and have someone push you, yoj will mlve a lot more than iv you seperated you feet a bit. So I would think a narrow wheel base would cause more roll. And a wide wheel base would cause you to be flatter in the corner

Nope, longer links lower your roll center, which decreases roll resistance (more roll)

It does, as I explained what you will get when you run the narrow hangers.

Wider track = more roll resistance = less traction/bite when cornering
Narrow track = more roll = more traction/bite when cornering
