wishbone shape

[Kev_205]

Does wishbone shape affect how a car handles?
I am looking at ways to lower my engine and the main issue is the driveshafts run too close to the subframe and wishbone pickup points.
so I want to modify the subframe and in effect decrease the wishbone width

from this sort of shape

to something a little less symetrical

obviously there would be potentially a higher risk of bending in an impact or heavy knock but I cant see a problem otherwise. This seems a little easier than the suggestion of rotating the gearbox to raise the driveshafts up, as that adds so many other problems to sort

ps and obviously those attempts at diagrams are awful too lol

damn - my spaces were removed. The zeros' are air :P
