Leonardo: if you are from those that lowering >1", worth install also some diff riser in rear, for CV joints to not fail too soon.

Thank you for the reply. What brand of "diff riser" do you suggest?

IMO, you can see the finish difference (hopefully not quality) between the new bumpsteer kit parts and my tire rods.

Supporting mods... Once the front sway bar arrives; it's going to be install time!

Well, my main suggested choice due various drawbacks would be to not lower that much in first place, as function to me always >> form, and why spend extra just for looks change that to me don't change car to look better in my eyes.

From googled up, riser from PSM for example. Try googling yourself, by adding "site:ft86club.com" to keywords of diff riser

I've looked at their stuff, almost ordered their LCA. I'll check those parts out, thank you!

And I don't plan on going much lower, the FA thread has one Vendor's suggestion at 1.1" lower. Mostly, I've been daydreaming about parts for 6 years. So, when I was finally adding parts to my cart, I thew 'em in!

Awesome, those definitely look like new parts.

Finally ordered my kit last week. I'm lowered 1.5" on coils and have put over 90k miles on my original ball joints. Since Whiteline brought this kit back I figured I might as well put them in. It'll be good peace of mind getting the geometry back to ideal position.

How much do the bumpsteer kits actually raise the roll center?

I seem to remember reading somewhere it's 20mm. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that.

I would imagine they raise it quite a bit more than that... they might be 20mm extended though.

I don't think the height difference between the stock and whiteline parts is that much. 5-8mm maybe?

As far as how much that changes roll center height I don't know if whiteline has published that data (or even bothered to model it in the first place). I took a look at the suspension geometry coordinates sheet in the suspension model thread and would only have plot like 3 of those points but it's not even close to right.

Anyone get a set from Whiteline lately? I ordered mine from them back in March but have yet to hear back.
