yes a car with a longer wheelbase is more stable, however when we change the wheelbase via hubs, its not about the wheelbase primarily, its about weight transfer. So believe it or not;
moving the rear hubs forward=more forward traction by
transferring the weight more to the rear
and vice versa.
hard to understand, hard to explain, but please so try it yourself, or better still, get someone else to make the changes to your car without you knowing what they did, and try and guess which way he/she went.
now with that being said, I have found moving hubs to be a very minor tuning tool and make very little difference.
have fun, thats the main thing
