This explanation is really fascinating! I naively thought that the moment arm for a cornering vehicle was just pretty much between center of mass and contact point between road and tire, so that lowering a car would lower the former but leave the latter equal. Really interesting
The first question is, "How low is low?" "Lowered" 0.25" certainly can not have the same handling impact (for better or worse) as lowered 1.25" and so on. Lower is definitely NOT always better (meaning faster on a race track). Are we here talking about restoring some semblance of "normal" handling after having a street car "slammed" to the point of leaving drag marks on every lump, hump, speed bump on the road? Sure, you want to sell sell sell but having some idea of the parameters where this sort of kit would be of help would, well, be of help to us consumers.
We do recommend the roll center correction kit if you car is lowered, even if it's lowered just a little. So even if you're running a simple setup like lowering springs, we still would recommend a roll center correction kit.
Hell yeah Mike Day
Wasn't expecting to find you guys here

excellent video ECS Tuning. I shattered the thumbs up on your video. Continue to keep up the terrific work.
This is interesting. So many people lower their cars. But do most of the shops that install them factor this in?
So when will a roll centre kit be useful? When you lowered vehicle by 30mm+, 50mm + from oem?
On website it says it’s for e46, but that looks like e36 control arms?
I wish you guys sold to the uk market wana buy a diverter valve spacer but the shipping and import tax is crazy😔
How do you find the roll center in a multilink setup? For example on an Audi
Can you do this video with a GTI
Does no kit exist for the e46 m3 then? Is it not needed?
what about the rear ?
Brilliant
Does this happen to E38's
What about E30s?
