    steering rack bracket or RCA's

    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.

    correcting steering arm angle v.s correcting roll center.

    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?

    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.
