mine were 100mm longer with the pin in the same spot relative to the front and I am sure 230mm camber measured as having the spring sitting upside down on the ground from ground to where the diff would sit

to work it out I measured a flat line from the front mount to the point where the spring eye would be with the shackle at a 45 degree angle

Yes, Have a look, grab a ruler and see what the shackle should do with the spring 2" longer.

You may also drop the height in the rear because of the new angle if you get the same arch/spring rate.

P.s. Your sig doesnt make sense. Is it meant to be spelt quiet? as in shhhhh?
