1) narrowing a rear affects the size of the tire you can run. tuck the wheel in too much and you will run into clearance issues. then you mini tub

2) you can order a rear narrowed as much as you want. cost is the same. weight reduction and stronger axles as above said.
I did search...and did not get my questions answered.

Thanks for the help though!

3.75 per side is the most you can go on stock suspension car. The 4" back spacing looks so dam good. I just set one of my customers car up that way

I thought wormboy and big rick both had to relocate their shockmount or control arm mount though to go more

I stand corrected. After reading some posts wormboy's rearend just has the control arm mount NARROWED not moved so its still stock location
