Roll center kit... are the current kits not as useful as one thinks?
I have been considering getting a roll center kit. But judging by the difference it raises the LCA and tie rod arm its seems useless. If we are lowering our cars 1.5-2" what measurable and actual "performance" and handling benefits are we getting by raising it .25"? Makes no sense (to me). If there were difference height units avaiable depending on how many inches you drop the car then i would be game. But are we (or I) spending $200 and 4 hrs of install for "piece of mind" and buying into a minuscule upgrade?
I am going to be on Flatout Suspension coilovers 10k | 11k, lowered to about 1.75-2in", F&R sways, rear adjustable toe & camber arms. I feel i have a solid setup but would rather use the $200 towards my corner balancing.
Looking for to some knowledge and insight!

Why? is not not the same idea? Do we not have interchangable LCAs and similar suspension geometry? I posted in this section cause there are alot more people racing previous generation Evos than there are Xs'.

I did my RCK after I did my coilovers. It was a noticeable enough difference in the front end that I didn't have to "look" for it to notice it. It wasn't a life changing transcendent change, but it was noticeable.
And it shouldn't take 4 hours to install. I would say 2, maybe 2.5 at most.

Do you mean the difference between both parts makes a bigger difference overall?

More front end grip at all times, except for very slow speed corners. Which is what I expected.
