Hey I ordered the aluminum shock caps, do they not come with bleeder screws but the plastic stock ones do? Tell me it ain't so? Actually I bought every optional part lol 700.00 dollar roller, DOH!!

I have an analogy that will help with roll center.
Just as you car has a balance point, front to back and side to side it also has a CG top to bottom. This balance point is what effects roll CG, or roll center. The roll center will be under the chassis CG, no need to learn how to find it as of now. When you raid the roll center you are making it closer to the chassis CG and lowering further away. Shock tower is opposite, lower holes raise roll center and upper lower it, also remember short is low long is high on link lengths.
Now the effects. Using a breaker bar to loosen a lug nut. Put the socket on the nut with the breaker bar straight up. Gripping the bar say 6" above the socket is a high roll center and gripping it 16" up would be a low roll center and the chassis's CG is your grip, roll center i the socket, and has the same effect to chassis roll.
The link position also effects camber gain, lower = more gain and can help with traction rolling as well. Ok thumbs are sore lol.

Can someone tell me if the aluminum shock caps don't come with bleeder screws or do u use the ones off the plastic stock ones? I didn't open the kit yet just got home and it was waiting at the door but I looked through the option parts I ordered.

Thumbs up on the great post . What your saying make sense . The analogy helped me too . But are there times when you don't want roll center as close to cg as possible

Congrats..you won't be disappointed with this kit..I also have the aluminum shock caps & they don't use bleeder screws. You gotta use plastic if you want an emulsion shock setup.

Would I need my roll center closer to cg if I was having problems rolling over in sharp corners ( hypothetically speaking )

There are several things you can try but as far as roll center, yes, lower link on the tower or shorten them. Do you know why it rolling? Are you catching an edge, chassis rolling to far, or just to much traction? Is it rolling over from the back or could the front be diving in? Ride height can cause this too. I typically start with box setup an tune from there. I've never found a pro setup that would work for me, my reaction time is to slow I guess.

I'm guessing my roll over problems were coming from most probably traction bite in a very high traction blue groove track . I was just curious to if that was a common roll center issue
