Roll centre correction
Replaces the soft oem lca bushings

Price wise they work out about the same for me. Arguably the lca option is cheaper, because if I went top hat, I'd still have some lca bushings to replace.

So is there a more technical reason as to whether camber and caster should be made from either the top or bottom?
If I'm not mistaken adjusting from the top hat messes with SAI, which is the less ideal choice.
