Couple Of Questions


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi folks,

I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of my BC BR Series coilovers and it was only yesterday I read someone

mentioning the Whiteline front roll centre adjustment kit.

Something about roll joints wearing out eventually?

So....should I get this fitted at the same time? Is it a must or just advisable?

With regards to the splitter. Eventually looking at getting one and wondered how much the HT Autos

one lowered the front end. I think someone mentioned about an inch although I'm sure I read

10cms!!! :)

Thought I'd check.

Thanks

:P

Richie ,as far as i know the roll-centre adjust kit is to combat bump-steer you can get with coilovers ,have a look for it on the Whiteline site.

HT Autos splitter i know nothing about :)

Cheers Kenny,

Had a look at the site but still don't know if it's a must?

Richie in my experience dealing with Whiteline is the Roll Centre Kit is much overlooked when lowering a car..

It's not essential by any stretch, it's a complimentary mod when lowering. Most people I find do this when they need a ball joint or track rod end.

If you've the budget to do it now then yes by all means. you won't regret fitting the kit.

Ok, cheers for the replies. Is what I read about ball joints going due to the coilovers something that will happen

eventually?

Ball joints and rod ends fail. Like said above mate, it gives you the full package when upgrading all parts i.e coilovers whiteline but its not a major must.

Forgot to ask about this last night. You know when and how I drive so wondered if I would really notice?

Or will I just be thinking 'well, it's only an extra £££'?

All theabove is true Ritchie It's just a question of when to splash the cash, I suppose it depends how much punishment the car is going to take.

Personally i'll replace things as they wear.

Rich,

I'm also waiting for my BC coilovers from the GB.

Have you had any quotes to get them fitted? So far Extreme in Whitburn have quoted £300 + vat for fitting incl a full geometry alignment.

Would appreciate any suggestions for other options....

Cheers, Mark

Haven't looked myself mate but I think I read the Hypertech were fitting plus geometry for £250.

I've a couple of places near to me so I'll see when the time comes....which I wish was sooner!!! :)

The Ht auto splitter will lower the front end by 30-50mm mate so you should be fine with the coilovers. :P

Cheers.

Might have to do some work to level the top of my drive!

Had a look when the front wheels were over the lip and there doesn't seem to be a huge gap from the

ground to the side skirts! :)
