Alignment && Whiteline Front Roll Center Adjustment

Will the Whiteline EVO Front Roll Center Adjustment Kit mess with my alignment? If so, how do I fix this?

Awesome. I figured as much because I'd be messing with the tie rods. What I am wondering, more over, is when I bring my car to the alignment shop if the specs they have in their computer wills till be correct? In other words, since this kit changes things slightly as far as the wheel position goes, will the stock alignment specs be invalid, therein if I align my car to those specs it would essentially be out of alignment? I hope it's not the case, I don't have any performance alignment shops in my area. Good Year is the best I have.


Thank You very much for the prompt reply!

Just daily driving? Go with the -1 camber bolt up front and 0 camber in the rear. Zero toe, zero thrust angle.

Do you have any suspension mods? Why are you upgrading to the RCA?

Indeed, just daily driving. I'm actually upgrading because the old ball joints in the a-arms went bad. Figured it is a hell of a lot cheaper than buying 2 new a-arms. I got the kit, I just hope when it is aligned it doesn't kill the tires.

That is the tire saving alignment. Note - it is not the fun handling alignment.

Yes. It replaces the balljoints in the front lower control arms and the tie rod ends.

Not to step on your toes..

Stock camber is -1.5 in front and -1.0 in the back. I just got my car done and that what the machine told us.
