Hi Lee, the geometry of the suspension would be slightly different due to the Squared wishbones being "straight" (so that they are non-handed) as opposed to the originals which had a left and right owing to their shape.

If you fit a "Squared" rear shock tower too the geometry will then be back to exactly the same as the original car (which was the whole reason for the new tower - to keep things the same)

Hope that helps........
