Nova lowers on a metric

[twisterf5]

what are you guy doing about the wheel base gain when running the nova lowers. i have always tried to stay around 108 but putting these on my car is pushing it to 110.1/2 are you running it that long or are you shortening the rear bars. if you are shortening the bar how short is to short. right now i am at 15/17 on right side. thanks for any info.

You just have to run the longer wheelbase. If you shorten the rear bars it will mess a lot of things up. ( driveshaft lengths, pinion angle, 72" motor setback rule, panhard bar clearance, shock angles) The nova stuff should add about 1 5/8 to 1 3/4" to the wheelbase.

the best time to run nova lowers is when your building the chassis, every thing is taking into consideration then.

Yes you will gain rear percentage.
