Thumbs up Whiteline Roll Center Kit

Over the weekend I had AHQ install a Whiteline Roll Center kit on my 2004
All I can say is WOW. The car's Turn-in is so hard now it has suprised me a few times.
Whatever you are planning to do to your suspension (other than swaybars) STOP and buy a roll center kit. Probably the best $200 I've spent on the car.

If your car is lowered that is, if it's not lowered, there isn't really any reason to adjust the roll center.

My car isn't lowered, and the kit works great

Bumpsteer = gone
turn-in is much more violent.

No springs or shocks? No coil overs?

There isn't any really amount of bumpsteer on stock suspension cars.

It's something I've definitely wanted to do, but have to double check the rules for my autox class.

well that's interesting. The kit is designed the reduce bumpsteer CAUSED by lowered suspensions. Shouldn't have an effect otherwise

Well in any case, good for you that it feels better!

I'm running stock STI springs, Ohlins shocks, Whiteline Camber Plates (~2 deg (-) Camber) and RCE swaybars

It seems strange this works so well based on the advertising,
The guys at TiC turned me on to this kit instead of offset lower arm bushings (like an ALK) as the biggest bang for my buck
