which one should i get? the roll center adjusters seem alot easier than the stteering bracket even though they cost a litttle more.

It depends alot on your suspension mods. But if you are dropped about 1.5" or more, the RCA will really become more essential.

im dropped on progress springs right now but i just bought a set of sk2 pro-s coilovers and omni power rear lcas. i have a rear camber kit and a set of front cam bolts not in yet and a 21mm type s rear sway and es sway bushings.im probly gna drop to 2 inches in front and 1.8 in front just enough to close the rest of the 1finger gap from the progress. im also plannin on road racing and autox more to.. so i should sell my bracket and pic up some rcas?

I bought the bracket last week. It cost less, is gonna take a bit more work to put in, but it also wont ware out like the RCAs will

dosent these two things serve two diffrent purposes?

correcting steering arm angle v.s correcting roll center.

yea,but i figure if i get the spherical ones theyll last longer and help more with handling.

I thought the RCA's made the greatest impact on handling.

i just looked at the j's racing RCA and it looks exactly like the extended ball joint from buddy club. these are supposed to find the angle of the tierod ends just like the bracket right?

:shrug:thats what i thought too. I thought they correct the geometry on the front suspension for lowered cars. Ie correct the tie rod angle.

yea.. idk. i suppose they both do the same thing. i think i may just opt for the RCA's since theyre alot easier. even tho i have a shop that can put the bracket on. i dont really wanna fuck with the tierods on the inside. and fuck up my alignment. cus my car drives staight as an arrow even with some neg camber in the rear.

The extended ball joint(roll center adjusters) does not correct your tie rod's angle. The ball joint and the tie rod bracket serve two different purpose. The ball joint will help correct your front suspension's roll center, and the bracket will correct the tie rod's angle and they do only just that. If you want to have both you will need to buy both. Since you are not lowered to the floor i would tell you to opt for the roll center adjusters since they will be a lot more beneficial to you.

regardless on which one you choose it will change your current alignement, so either way you will need to get the car aligned afterwards.

i have the bracket. but if the rcas will benifit me more then ill probably just sell the bracket. he sells inverted tierods but only for dc5 shocks and the bracket. i believe both are 125 dollars which is what i paid for mine. i posted on here quite a while back when i first got the bracket to try and get him some buyers. idk if anyone saw it or not.

I've been hoping someone like talonXracer :mbiggrin: would make a few of these for us at a modest profit. I can't remember how much the guy at CRSX quoted me, but it was like way more than I expected. At a reasonable price I would snap one up!

hes asking $130 for the bracket. I'm gonna see if a buddy of mine whos a millright could make a few up for cheaper than that.
