The arms have been lengthened approximately 1/4 inch on each side which will make up the difference in width.

The rear of the car was approximately 9.500 inches wide and the front was 9.000 inches wide. With the new arms the front track will be 9.500 as well. Pictures tomorrow.

when your front end is too wide, the car will have a tendency to straighten itself. i faced this with my optima mid with Lazer ZX-R syuspension. i used the wide option on the front, and what happened was even with extremely slow cornering speeds, i cannot make the tight turns of my local track. When i narrowed the front end, i suddenly got noticably more steering. Even internet resources on rc car handling confirms this.
