Are there any front ball joints for evos with stock suspension? I researched and all I could find was the White Line Roll Center Kit ball joints. Since car isn't lowered is there any negative effect from the roll center kit? Car is autocrossed so not looking to get something that would be a negative. Also what is roll center?

I don't think there are. The factory manual calls for a replacement of the LCA if the ball joint fails. I don't think you would want to use the White line kit on a non lowered car.

Roll center is the axis on which the body of the car rolls.


You would be fine installing the white line kit. It doesn't move the roll center too much. I thought hard race made them, but it looks like only for the rear trailing arm. You could also just find a good condition used OEM control arm.

So I called Whiteline and spoke to them about running the Whiteline Roll Center kit on the stock suspension. Basically the person said the negative I would probably get is that the steering predictability wouldn't be as good as oem.

I have them on my non lowered 9, seems to be fine. One has play in it and needs replacing so I'll be buying whiteline again. Yes there needs to be a Oem replacement

maybe after that DSM ball joint fiasco mitsu didnt want to take any chances and makes you buy a complete LCA assembly.

anyone use these on stock suspension (evo8) with noticeable negative effect?
