I suppose you could use an offset bushing in conjunction with lowering, but I think you're getting into diminishing returns.

What is the concern anyway with the roll center being too low on a car?
I'm not concerned for myself. More of an inquiry. The roll center adjusters are a little more popular with the road racing people it appears.

This is exciting! I cant watch the different set-ups compete against each other. Mainly what wheel/tire size stands out over the others.

Which wheels are you guys running? I'm having a hard time finding reasonable priced 10-11" wide wheels.

Reasonable priced and wheels over 10.5" wide don't really go hand and hand...

Reasonable as in $2800. Is this a fair price for used wheels?
