Rad are you still after a set? Im looking at buying some from techno toys as they have 35mm available.

You are a mind reader as TT were on my list to see if they had any to fit the JB
Don't know if 35mm is ok or not as will need to check ball joint to rim clearance especially IF I still want to be able to fit/use the stock 15's occasionally.What price are they?

Rad you wont be able to run these with 15s, I understand Techno Toys can machine them for clearance but then it defeats the purpose of running rca. Price is $90 plus shipping which is $25.

how would one figure out where the best roll centre position is for a given car in real life?

Yes I am .At present my LCR's are level so on bump or heavy braking they will not be in the best position.I will check the Ball joint clearance with 15's to see exactly how thick/high I can have and still fit the 15's .
Can get them machined if needed.

It would be where your suspension a full compression, the lower control arm not passing the horizontal mark.

Rad so would you like me to order two?

How often do you drive with your suspension at full compression? Far better off having a horizontal LCA at about the mid-point of the suspension movement.

They are dead level sitting in the garage with zero load so what you said^^^ is what I am trying to achieve. :)

Fair enough, I was only making an assumption.

Rad I've order them so I will let you know when they arrive.
