Oh good!!! Longer is easier, shorter is not, so that's good. I think you must have a much better concept of suspension geometry than I do, I think I would need a lot of help building a suspension from scratch as you have. Keep us posted.

The length also depend in the position of the tie rod on spindle, in the case of the Corvette C4 spindle the position is far away of the imaginary line between uper and lower ball joint.

I hope this illustration help to explain.
