looking at this Sigma on ebay and noticed that the locating pin on the strut towers have been ground off and the towers rotated 180 Degrees. I remember a guy on the site back in the day :( that had a really smick Scorpion that had done the same mod. Not looking to do it myself..but has anyone done it and then got a wheel alignment to check the result.
Would give it heaps of negative camber ..but must play havoc with the inside edge tyre wear.

Of course I meant to say the STRUT TOPS have been rotated 180...NOT the TOWERS

My scorpion has had this done. you can't really tell eyeballing it
its a track car so can't really tell much for on road handling.

Its not enough for me, still alot of understeer, I'm building adjustable LCA

Many moons ago I bought some Early Falcon adjustable cam bolts to create an adjustable bottom control arm. Just one of the many projects that never got off the ground :(
