roll centre/anti-lift questions
I am contemplating fitting roll centre kit to my car prior to a trip to the ring in may, + perhaps an anti lift kit,
I have read in several places on here and various other forums that the tie/track rod ends are not really needed, but the ball joints are the best thing to modify to achieve a decent result without adding in extra bump steer:|, I also understand the whiteline ones have had 1 or 2 problems?
which is best to go for? (whiteline/zerosports/apex etc)
Second to this is it necessary to fit the larger correcting ball joints to the rear as well as the front? or fitting the front will have the desired beneficial effect?
Any comments advice greatly received.
Will plan on having some ride hight adjustment + full alignment after fitting for fast road once again.
Car is a 2005 widetrack with tein type flex currently fitted. (probably running a little low at 332mm/335mm (front back) hub to arch
The car currently has very good lateral grip and hardly any bump steer to speak of but is a bit bumpy at high speed due to stiffness of coilovers/ride height etc.

Your car is pretty low indeed. What height adjustment do you have planned. The ideal height for a 2005 car is 380 front & 360 rear.
You certainly need roll centre correction as your roll centre at the present height will have lowered significantly - in fact it will probably have migrated a good amount through the floor
The SuperPro castor bush is a good and effective buy. Does the castor mod to improve dynamic geo stability and increase front end grip, plus if you want anti-dive/lift you can still fit a spacer

Sorry for hijacking your thread (No I am not LOL). Jura, you talk about being able to adjust the castor by rotating the top mounts. When I replaced both front springs on my Tein Flex coilovers I am sure the top mounts only fit in one orientation due to the spacing of the three mounting studs. Correct me if I am wrong.

I have Whiteline ALK on my uk STI. Some have and will continue to say the ALK arent as good as what they are cracked up to be but since Ive had mine on think it has reduced the dive and lift of the car on sharpe braking and full lift when flooring. As Jura says it also gives you better castor settings which improve handling.
I could be completely wrong and some say its all in the head but I beg to differ. I've never experienced roll centre kits but not ruling it out in future modifications when I have a reason to get an re-alignment done again.

however!! wouldn't some form of correction (not that I have seen anything like that available) at the rear be beneficial or would this move the roll centre (front to back) in the wrong direction
ops (Edited for incorrect quoting :O)
