whiteline front roll center correction= good.
This is a quick review of the whiteline front roll center correction kit.
I've had some zeal coilovers for about 2 months.
The car is lowered about 1 1/4 lower than the stock height and I didnt like how the fronts roll more in the corner entry.
I've heard some good things about the whiteline roll center kit so I thought I'd give it a shot so here it goes.
After having it installed, I immediately noticed a difference.
I went for a spirited drive with the kit installed and here are my view on it.
The car feels sharper turning left and right.
I did a few quick left and right turn transitions and it stays planted better and less body roll, ultimately giving better front end grip.
I've heard some people having issues with the kit with aftermarket rotors but I am using stock rotors so I have no problems for now.
So far I am very happy with the kit.
For those of you running coilovers and want to get better front end grip I would recommend this kit.

I remember seeing a thread about one of the tie rods rubbing on the rotor slightly.
I believe it was one of the DBA 5000 series rotors ( the two piece design).
If you're on stock rotors or one piece rotors I wouldnt worry about it.

Sorry to bump an old thread but I thought its better to add on here than make a new one.
Just got this installed yesterday and aligned today. Honestly it made more of a difference than I was expecting. My car is dropped 1.4'' in the front on soft springs and I felt there was too much roll on turn-in and on-throttle understeer. With this kit installed and a bit more aggressive alignment (-1.8 front camber) it feels much better! On the street roll isn't even an issue. It stays flat, yet the suspension is still very compliant. I knew this would be the effect of raising my roll center back up but it was still more than expected. I haven't tracked yet with it so I can't say how good it will be on the track. Will do so soon though.
But heres the thing thats often not mentioned about the kca395 kit. It improves the turning circle! Like significantly! I live very close to downtown Montreal and have to deal with really small streets and extremely tight parking garages all the time. So maybe I notice it more than an average person would. Even still...I think most people will notice and appreciate the difference.
As for the rotor rub. Yea I could totally see it doing that. The boot for the ball joint gets very close to the rotor. But it doesn't rub on my dba rotors so I guess its only a potential problem with two piece rotors or BBKs.

Edit Since I've had some PMs about this. When the product was first launched on this forum that was the feedback from multiple folks. I have the PSRS zero so I can't speak to it personally.

Man, it does. Its not an illusion. I can physically make turns into parking spots now that I could never do before. I can also parallel park A LOT easier. Still one of the worst steering circles of any car in this size range but infinitely more manageable than what I had before. Fasterbater has the same effect with his car.
Come down to one of the mtl meets one day and try my car (or fasterbater's). You'll see.
