I have just measured the track width of my car and the front appears to be 90-100mm wider compared to the rear. 

 

I have a home made rear beam, using some radius arm brackets from someone that had a few sets made up. The front brakes retain standard geometry so haven't been spaced out using metro flanges and vented discs etc.

 

I am planning to remake the beam as there are few things that could stand improving so thought I would alter the radius arms so they are back to a more standard or optimal position. For a fast road/track car is there an optimal difference in track such as the rear being 40mm narrower compared to the front?

 

Or even for a post 84 does anyone know what the standard figures are, so I can work to them?

 

Issues with coilover positioning won't be a problem.

 

Thanks

Front track is 2" wider than the rear.

In metric  front measure 1340mm face to face of flanges.

or 52  3/4 inches

Thanks, that gives me some reference figures.
