Having looked at the RG website And looking at my 2000 Tuscan, this is the later of the 2 hub designs.

Given the top wishbone was lengthened and yours looks to be using the outer set of top ball joint mounting holes, this looks like the later set up?

Have looked at your pic, can see top ball joint is inboard of mine so quiet a lot more KPI on the early cars
so would have to run less Castor to get the same feel at steering wheel
Also scrub radius would be further outboard on your 2000 car

the combination of these 3 would make it more twitchy

and the shorter top wishbone would give completely different camber curve as the suspension is compressed

Think i,v got my car handling as well as i can without Nitrons, but i did,nt want to put then on until i,d got the best setup
