Re: Adjustable Lower Control Arms
I don't think you get the full 15mm becuse you are essentially pivoting the axle around the upper link so you will only get the centre of the axle moving back around half this distance.

Re: Adjustable Lower Control Arms
The top control arm mounting points are much higher above the axle centreline than the bottom ones are below centreline, therefore the wheelbase will be affected more than half the adjustment difference. I have not measured the actual difference, but expect that after adjusting the arms by 15mm, the change in wheelbase would be at least 10mm.

Re: Adjustable Lower Control Arms
With the 2" lift on mine the wheel base is a bit shorter than the norm, so a extra 8-10 mm would be great, I would actualy like to increase my wheel base to 105"
