Whiteline releases their roll center/bump steer correction kit for the BRZ/FRS!

[RallySport Direct]

Hey guys check this out! Our friends at whiteline has just released a new roll center/bump steer correction kit for the BRZ/FRS!

Tell us what you think.

Here are some notes directly from Whiteline’s website!

PRODUCT BENEFITS
KCA435 is designed to raise the front roll-centre geometry by using specially engineered ball-joints & tie rod ends while still maintaining original steering geometry. Front roll geometry actually encourages roll the lower you go. Testing proves that raising the front roll-centre resulted in a substantial increase to front roll resistance & a significant reduction in suspension compression of the outside front wheel during cornering (less roll). This improves weight distribution & maintains a better camber angle which ultimately improves front grip. The overall outcome is significantly reduced understeer through reduced front wheel compression as well as improved steering precision & vehicle stability.

More information could be found here!

Nice. Anybody who is lowered (especially more than 1") should consider this.

I noticed this on their site the other day when I was looking for updates on the upper mounts, looks like a good value!

[RallySport Direct]

Thank guys! I have always used these on all my older lowered Subaru's and loved them, I was really excited when I saw them for the Twins! And like @tech4pdx said, these would be ideal for anyone who has lowered their car, to help bring the front suspension geometry back into check

And not sure if this belongs here, but I also found out we have them in stock as well!

Thanks,
Rick

How low do you need to be before this becomes necessary?

How is the quality of their ball joints? Not impressed with their end links and some other parts thus far.

How many inches of lowering does this kit correct for? It's fixed and not adjustable, right?

Really any drop of about an inch or more would benefit from this roll center kit. They are not adjustable, and are a direct replacement for the factory tie-rod ends and ball joints.

I have run these on pretty much all my Previous Imprezas and Legacies and have been nothing but impressed with the quality. They have held up to our harsh winters and my harsh driving for years haha.

Hope this helps.
Thanks,

I've got a set in the box waiting to go on my car. Should have them mounted sometime this month.

Whoever gets em installed and some time on em PLEASE make a review with thoughts!!

So Rick..

I'm approx 1.250" lowered on KWs and using Vorshlagg plates up front which ass one degree castor as is. These new WL ends you'd still deem as a good upgrade?

You must need to update your webby as can't locate em?..

Awesome! You will have to let us know how you like them.

You bet, these would be awesome and would really help the front geometry come back to factory specs. These plus the additional castor from the plates would make for an amazing car.

Also we are getting photos for them and they should be up on the site shortly

1 year warranty! We also offer our RSD guarantee with this, but I won't get into that as I don't want to turn this into a for sale thread haha.


Also I cannot confirm or deny that these will be going on one of the BRZ's here very shortly. Wink wink, nudge nudge

Thanks guys!

Have had the impreza kit on my forester for a few years and maybe 40k ish miles now, no issues including new England salt fest winters.

This is the set i have iirc

The finish of my whiteline fsb on the vehicle on the other hand looks like shit after a few winters, but thats apparently common for whiteline sways and salt.

They made a fantastic difference on that vehicle, but the lowering was much more drastic (sti struts, rce black springs and later crossmember spacer delete to correct lowered forester geometry further). Plus whiteline was fantastic to deal with sending me a couple boots for free when i was an idiot and tore one.

Anyone get these installed yet?
