So?

Some race rules require the rear suspension to retain all factory mounting points and this does just that.

I believe ahobbs posted on FB that the whole setup with the calibers dropped 50lbs. Thats a pretty serious drop.

Can it be made to stock wheel base? Can it also push the wheel out to stock. Not tucked in like other kits.

I understand, but this doesn't look like it uses the OEM toe mount.

If you use the factory LCA mounting point then the only way to lengthen the arm is by offsetting the hub which affects suspension geometry. That's why I ask, wiseass.

I'm not bashing it. In fact, I love the innovation these days.

I would be interested in hearing how the wheel base is adjustable.

Ah, i didnt even notice it lol. How would this effect the lower control arm? I know there will be a window the bushings will allow the lower control arm to move without binding up but what is that window?

You'd have to have some custom LCA's. You can maybe get +- 1/4" before it's an issue.
