You'd see improvements on all Tuscans, not just from late '00. The difference would be that it would be easier to correct it over a wider suspension movement on later cars due to the shorter track rods whereas, assuming a like-for-like static set up, earlier cars would tend to more toe out as bump increases.
The reason i made my own rather than fitting Saggy steering arms, is I don't have the rest of the Saggy Geo,

and as the Tuscan had things like rack width changed over the years, there can not be one set of components to correct all the cars,

hence the sketch i posted

its the principle, of correcting this Geo, that transforms these car

hope this clears up some of the confusion

Have any dimensions / drawings of the arms you made that you would be willing to share??

How much did you end up lifting the rack by, or did you leave it and do all the height adjustment with the arms?

I put 5mm under the rack,
this gives you some fine adjustment, if you sit the rack on the chassis, it carnt go down any more, or if to high carnt go up, so for me set it somwhere around mid
