cheers for the reply, ill be staying away from spacers, im more thinking of after market bolt ons, sways bars, strut tops etc. i really want to lower it more without cutting the springs. most companys make lows but nothing lower.

Re: Converting tail shafts??

the rear yoke between sigmas and scorps is different, the only difference is the central locatiing circle which centres it in inthe diff centre,one is slighty bigger than the other, pretty sure they are the same length as well, ive had them side by side before.
