The sort of driving you would need to do in order to necessitate having a Whiteline RCK is not considered "daily driving." So no, you probably don't need it.

I disagree. I like to be safe at all speeds and part of being safe is knowing that if I need the car to turn, it will. I would correct the roll center on any and all lowered Xs.

No safety issues with my IX or X while lowered without a RCK; street or autocross. Just for ****z & gigz maybe I'll do one with my next set of tires and fresh alignment in a few thousand miles and see if actually makes any noticeable difference on a daily-driven street car.

You don't need it. It wouldn't hurt to have it though obviously.

Safety? In a lowered evo going highway speeds, you really expect to suffer from enough bump steer and toe out that you're going to understeer off the freeway?



Whatever, it's your money.

I got it installed before I did my springs, and it actually made a nice difference even before the springs. Felt much crisper and had a sharper turn-in. Honestly I would say it was equal with the springs in terms of increasing response/grip. However after adding swaybars that made largest difference for sure, though.

It was only $190, so I figured I mine aswell do it.
