Richie Cross Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 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 Link to comment
kennyuk300 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 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 Link to comment

RATechnology Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 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. Link to comment

Is what I read about ball joints going due to the coilovers something that will happen eventually? Link to comment
StewartyBoy Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 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. Link to comment

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 £££'? Link to comment
wulsey Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 The Ht auto splitter will lower the front end by 30-50mm mate so you should be fine with the coilovers. Link to comment
bobbyc Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 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. Link to comment
dark Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 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 Link to comment

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! Link to comment

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! I broke 2 HT splitters and the only suspension mod is prodrive springs(20mm). Looks good but I've left ot off cos it's£130/time Link to comment
