Just saw this on his website
Q: What is the track width, hub to hub of the GTS kit?

A: The GTS kit has an adjustable track width. The actual track width varies from model to model (A, B/E, C etc) as well as which brake kit. Generally speaking, on an A body, it is adjustable from 59 to 61 inches.

Where'd you see that at on there?

Also, I got mine down to 58 inches

spun bearing, mine measured out to 58 inches with about an 1/8 inch where I could go even narrower, probably as narrow as 57.75 or so, however right now, I set it to 58.5 to measure for tires/rims. Plus that is where the max suspension travel measured at. When completed, I'll be going back to 58 inches but I wanted to measure for the 58.5 setting because I plan to run wheel spacers as a tuning tool on this since it is a PT car. Just another tool in the toolbox for tuning.

More pics uploading, will be posting soon

Another guy got his to even narrower.

Now on to the important parts . . . brakes, shocks, control arms and steering.

The brakes are Wilwood WIL-140-9918-D Dynalite 12.19 in rotors with the 2" drop Wilwood pro spindles.

The measurement from hub face to hub face is 57 7/8 inches.

Since there is a limitation on the picture upload, I will continue in another post.
