Do u have to do the roll centre adjuster?? What about those rear camber bolts ??


I don't know anyone that has roll centre adjusters, a few have castor correction bushes though (worth it if you're Schumacher)

My rear PS is at -3 and the DS is at -2. I need camber bushes to correct them.
Get an alignment straight after you install the coils, and that'll give you an idea if you need them or not.


How the hell can they be so far out?? :shock:

Mine had way too much camber in the rear with stock bushes so got the KCA399 to bring it back closer to 1.5 degrees

Wish it would go even a little bit more positive... Oh well. Might have to get some lower offset wheels :P

Dunno. Pedders said its standard and camber bushes are the only way around it.
From memory you have like 2mm more poke than me, i'm impressed that you can run -1.5! The side with -2 is damn tight.

Whaaaat? KCA399 on whitelines website is $110.70

I'd like to see someone try the Nolothane kit though.
Provides 0.25 degrees more adjustment than the Whiteline kit.
