I had my front control arms made an inch narrower on my Duster with 2.25 back spaced wheels. Didn't really see the difference. Thought I would try and go 2" on my Demon, going for the nostalgia funny car look on the street.
There’s no way in hell I’d do that without running a full suspension geometry analysis.
It’s not just looks you’re messing with, you’re completely changing how that car will handle. Roll center, camber and caster curves, bump steer, even the wheel rates will totally change. Maybe a “nostalgia funny car look” handles like crap already, but control arm length isn’t something you should just arbitrarily change to get a “look”.
The shorter you make the control arms the worse the handling will be.
