Or do you have to include the piece of carbon firbe plate as well?)I only ask as this car is different to my old car (JRXS).

Thanks again for all of your help and advice.

Leonard.
Thanks guys.

Clint and Rod are right. The lower the roll center, usually the more bite you'll get on that end, to a point. For instance, yesterday, I raised the roll centers on the car front and rear to see if the car would flow faster through the corner. It did but at the expense of not having enough bite to place the car where I wanted it. It made adjusting my line really difficult if I needed to react quickly. And when we're talking about a 3mm roll center, it's usually the 2mm riser plate, plus a 1mm shim under the pivot block.

Oh and Shookie, thanks. That's exactly what I'm hoping for.
