So, narrow body starion front lowering springs should fit straight into the front of the scorp from what i read. What kinda drop can i expect? anyone got any brand preference?

The starion spring will fit straight into a GJ, GK or GL Scorp, but not the earlier models. Standard Starion springs are lower then the standard Scorp springs, but most aftermarket ones will probably use the same springs for both cars.

GH most likely.
Have a look at the chassis number, it will start with the year model letters.

Cheers.

thanks for that.

I've tracked down an nz manufacturer who lists lowering springs for the Sigma GE-GH Sedan & Scorpion which is good!

Right so mines a GH. will starion front struts still fit in so that i can run starion brakes?

What model sigma struts are directly swappable into my vehicle?

information is so hard to find on these cars.

cheers,
