Thumbs up Roll centre / Bump steer Correction

Whats the craic with these Super Pro kits? Have one on the shelf to fit, wondered how good an improvement they make to the handling characteristics.

Wasn't a fan of the handling before, lowered with HSD's, some neg on the front and standard neg on the rear with the whiteline anti lift kit and 24mm arbs fr and r.

Will look for settings shortly for alignment or is there any advice as Im very new to the newages. Just fitted ad08rs too.

Cheers

First thing is to have a slightly smaller arb on the front, that dials out understeer. Putting both he same brings it back

My car, a 98 classic, ran solid drop links, 24mm rear arb, bump-steer mod and ALK, and had a full PROPER 4 wheel (not back-street Joe or KwikFit) alignment.

It now has that lot plus coilovers, alignment by Carnetix, and the late, great Harvey Smith complimented me on it's handling

Yea I definitely will have the tracking looked at, usually every few thousand miles if Ive been on track.

Yea that's a good shout, I was thinking of just running it disconnected.. Cheers dude
