    I didnt realize when I bought these how short they were. Now that I have the body somewhat fitted they just look really short. Should I keep them or source longer? Thank you.

    Are you concerned more with looks or performance? The longer the bones, the less caster change when you hit a bump. I doubt if you would be able to notice any change in the handling if they were a foot longer.

    They will work fine if level when loaded with engine, etc. Looks to be a nice car in progress.

    Thank you. My concern is caster change and aesthetics both honestly. The more I look at them the more stubby they look. Im not positive on their overall length but this will teach me to do more research before buying on ebay years ago to save myself some money....and I was wrong. sigh
