that distance is called the "included angle"
it changes your roll centers and changes your camber curve. you cant just simply say it will be better or worse based off just the distance. you will need to plot your suspension geo and find out what effect it will have on YOUR car at its ride height wheels tires offset, sai, track width all come into play. I made custom ones for Joon maeng specificly where I wanted them for RC and cmaber curve.
