Just tubes? if so just narrow them yourself, take ends off, shorten tube by 3inches and refit ends
But it worries me you want some, thought you wanted to go quicker?

It's an option to shorten myself. Just checking if someone have a done set
Ditching the torsion and going ladder bars. I guess you want me to do the irs dance?

Nope just to build it as safe as possible
and that isn't a narrowed swingaxle car
, also if its ladder bar there isn't really a need for torsion raise is there?

I've always believed a narrowed rear is better?
No, we?ll make raised mounts for the transmission.

My race car knowledge is not at all as good as it could be,
But other than the camber change, what?s different?
Limiter straps helps on the ?off the gas? part surely?
