Thanks for the reply,

Yes.
I'm not sure it's exactly 1.5".
The easy way to tell is to take the wheels off.
Measure front vs rear track widths.
To me it's very noticeable.
But most see it when they add lowering springs.
(a-arms "flatten out" as the spring gets shorter ie. making the track width wider than stock)

Add drop spindles and they get wider yet!
Except for CPP Modular spindles, (according only to CPP) they are suppose to keep the track width narrow.
By how much, and compared to what(?) no one knows.
I've asked many times.
