What does a longer than standard lower 4link do? What does longer upper rod do? Then if u use them together what do u get. The reason I ask is our chassis has a lot of extra holes and just wondering what all they can be used for. The car is on the shortest holes at this time. Just thinking about trying things and just wanted to get some knowledge up front to know what to expect. Thanks.

Longer rods slow everything down. Should tighten up entry and keep bite in the car longer off the corner.

A longer rod mounted at the same angle will work on less of an "arc" than a shorter one (like RacerX10 said, slow things down). So longer links on the LR would produce less roll steer (bring the LR forward "less" during roll/chassis hike). One thing you can do to get an idea of the effects of the different links is measure certain aspects with your car on jack stands and the LR at full droop. With the links you have now, measure the distance between the upper and lower shock mount. Also measure the angle on the upper bar. Then change just the lower link to a longer one (for example) and measure the same two things. It's interesting to see the changes.
