BTW, I measured the arms not so long ago and I think the difference between Sierra and Granada front TCAs is 12 mm. I expect this 12 mm should give you about 1.15 degrees more camber, for the same ride height. To keep enough thread from the tie rod in the tie rod end I would also use the Granada tie rod ends as they are also longer, just like the TCAs.
For the rear the Granada arms also give about 12 mm wider track. I suppose to accomodate this the Granada driveshafts are a bit longer, but I never put them next to Sierra driveshafts. The beam and arb can be used independently from the arms and driveshafts.
Oh snap, right.. No camber adjustment to max out xD Yeah, let's assume non-adjustable Sierra arms.
That's another good piece of info with the length and camber difference. I was also thinking that using the Granada tie rods ("steering joints" .. forgot the correct word
) with the TCAs would be a good idea.
On the rear track, is that 12 mm wider track in total or per side? Either way, I would expect the Granada driveshafts to be longer for, say, 6 mm?
I might get a chance to go measure Granada and Sierra driveshafts, I guess measuring boot to boot would be close enough?
Is there anything else besides the trackwidth that would change with Granada arms and shafts out back?
On the rear ARB, I think the only difference between Sierra/Granada was the "cut out" of the bar around the diff (7/7.5) or its carrier respectively?
Thanks

Ok now I'm confused.
"Granada" = Granada Mk3 = Scorpio for the rest of Europe as Marc put it
"Scorpio" = Ultima frog / bugeye thingie '94-up
Also, the 100/108mm cv joints is the flange diameter or the length?
Also, imho all Mk3 Granadas had 5 lugs (at least my 90 12V 2wd and my facelifted 92 2.0i 2wd had, and about every other I have seen so far).
Marc, your last post including the pic (labelled Scorpio) was referring to the Granada Mk3? You stated that only the flanges for the hub carriers are wider/angled differently? Or is your statement on the arms length (to give more trackwidth) still valid?
