Front roll center kit discontinued
 
I recently came across a video with the whiteline front roll center kit. Sounds like it's exactly what I need but it seems it's been discontinued and I can't find anything similar.

What would be an alternative? I've brushed across adjustable endlinks but I'd rather have parts that are set and forget.

Thanks

End links don't affect roll center or bump steer, so even if you get adjustable end links you'd still be looking for something else.

There are a couple aftermarket LCA's that either statically adjust roll center or allow you to adjust it, but I don't know of anything that's a simple replacement like the whiteline kit was.

Buddy club sells the extended ball joints and you can get adjustable tie rod ends from companies like SPL.

You can still find the roll center/bump steer correction kits. Look on ebay.

FYI sometimes the extended ball joints create clearance issues.

Talking to whiteline they are re-engineering the part. A gentleman by the name of Jared said they are retesting this kit and will be making a re-release of the part sometime this year.

** Edit to remove a old link with wrong pn3 **

SPL FLCA has some adjustment IIRC

The Whiteline kit was discontinued due to many of them developing tears in the dust boot.

Buddyclub makes a similar unit. You can buy just the extended ball joint by itself or they also sell a front lower control arm with the extended ball joint already pressed in. Saves the hassle of finding a press.

I had MoonFace ball joint , but they worn fast in my car , less than a year and about 10 track day .


Than I had BC extended ball joint , it has about 10 track day now , it seem they last longer . But it require grinding LCA a bit , or it rub the rotor and surely cut into the backing plate .


There is a Racer X replacement ball joint , I would suggest you try that and forget the extended type . I find extended ball joint does improve handing but not much, and really take some effort , it change a few thing on alignment setup / ride height / clearance .
