good thread ^.^

hey kelsodeez do the roll center adjusters make a big difference? i really dont know anything about them besides the fact that they go on the suspension.. hahahaha

ooh i just read up a little on them.. so they make the suspension geometry on lowered cars closer to stock.. right?...

[DrKelso]

I think they have something to do with center of gravity and center of mass. Too lazy to actually look but they're a good idea.

[GD3-Fit]

when you lower a car and don't adjust the roll center you wind up with more body roll even though the center of gravity is lowered.

a roll center adjuster balances the roll center and the center of gravity to make the car handle the way it's supposed to when lowered.

another way to fix this is increase the spring rate on the springs but it doesn't fix it as good as roll center adjusters do.


kelsey: how much did you pay for those if you don't mind me asking??

One more questions for Kelsey: How much of a discount do you get with the spoon certification? Because I never asked and was wondering.

[Super Mario]

I noticed that it doesn't even have a front strut bar. Does that imply it's better without it? hmm

you dont get a discount with the spoon certification. i get certain products at cost because i am friends with the guys at opak and ive helped them out a few times.

the roll center adjusters are good to have. if you lower your car, look at the angle the control arm is put at. its about an inch and a half off. the roll center adjusters correct the angle your control arm is at and make your shocks and springs take the tension of a turn rather than your control arm taking the load.

Think I should get the bump steer kit for my DB8? Worth it?

[kelsodeez]

i cant say if they are worth it or not. i put the j's roll center adjusters in when i did all my suspension work so i have no idea how my car handled without them. if you do buy them, make sure you get the control arm assembly with the ball joints already pressed into them because it was a bitch and a half removing the stock ball joints and putting in the new ones.

I never relized how low it is! That thing is tucking like crazy. Like almost Rays Fit low.
Looks great though. I seriously heart the spoon Fit.

Nice thread i am working on getting some spoon parts for mine, my dad and i share the fit so he doesn't want me to do anything until the warranty is up
