Whiteline Front Roll Center Kit - Anyone have and can review?
 
I was considering purchasing the Whiteline Front Roll Center kit but would like to hear opinions about them first. Has anyone out there installed them? If so what are the before and after impressions and what other things have you don't to you suspension?

I've got one waiting to be installed.

MotoIQ installed the kit on their car: http://www.motoiq.com/MagazineArticl...Whiteline.aspx

I have them. I contacted Whiteline and they told me they are built to correct 20mm of drop. I lowered the car 20mm via coilovers before corner balancing. I think they are a good product if you use them correctly.

My drop from RCE yellows just happens to be around 20mm so this may be good then.

Notice any difference in handling or in general with them on? Did you need realignment after?

Hard to say what they did in isolation as I changed several things at once. You should get an alignment after for sure.

You are supposed to get an alignment afterwards, they say it makes a big difference. I'm hopefully getting these soon along with some hotchkis springs

Pressed in the ball joints today, should have it buttoned back up by tomorrow. I'm thinking changes will be minimal. Will report after testing.

I installed the kit a week ago. But I also installed a bunch of other stuff, so hard to make any concrete statements about changes attributable to the roll-center kit as opposed to the caster kit (ALK), solid steering rack bushings, new alignment settings, etc.

Anything to report back?

Sorry for the delay. As predicted, changes are minimal.
