Hey guys I am getting new bushes for my LC lancer which currently has GH sigma struts in it.
I am wanting to put Starion lower control arms in to get a bit more negative camber. Now I was thinking the only thing stopping me doing this might be the bush that goes from the LCA to the crossmember.
Looking on the SuperPro website I came across their online catalogue. It has one type of bush for:
1) Lancer and GH, GE Sigma & Scorpion
2) GH, GE Sigma & Scorpion and GJ, GK, GN Sigma & Scorpion
3) GH, GE Sigma & Scorpion
4) GH, GE Sigma & Scorpion and GJ, GK, GN Sigma & Scorpion and Starion
Now there seem to be 2 types, one with a hollow pin through the middle and one without.
So my question to those who know better, did the GH Sigmas come out with different LCA's between the years or do you rekon that by process of logic (and illogic) that the one that suits the Starion would also suit the LC Lancer?
Here is a link to the catalogue so u can look for yourself.

Re: Bushes that Suit Sigma, Scorpion, Lancer and Starion???
There are two types of Sigma LCA's, GE-GH And GJ onwards (and maybe more given that they were made by Mitsubishi...). The GE-GH are the same length as Lancer so no use, but the GJ onwards ones are longer. All you need to get them to work in a Lancer is drill out the centre of the inner bolt plate and use a sigma bolt. Then use the longer GJ onwards tie rod adjusters to get the toe right (you will need to find two sigma's as they have a long tie rod on one side which doesn't help). Ball joints are very different so you will need the Sigma ones as well. Lancer castor rods bolt on as no problem.

Do you know how much longer? and what degree of camber this gives?

4-5cm and 1-2degress from memory. I've got both arms sitting here but no sigma ball joints so I can't measure them.
