I might be running a hard packed dusty surface this weekend.
You put shims under the the ballstuds mounted at the shocktowers.
Raising the inner mount lowers the roll center, lowering the inner mount raises the roll center...
EFFECTS OF FRONT ROLL CENTER ADJUSTMENT
Front roll center has most effect on on-throttle steering during mid-corner and corner exit.
Lower
• More on-throttle steering.
• Car is less responsive.
• More weight transfer at front of car.
• Better on smooth, high grip tracks with long fast corners.
Higher
• Less on-throttle steering.
• Car is more responsive.
• Less weight transfer at front of car.
• Use in high grip conditions to avoid traction rolling.
• Use on tracks with quick direction changes (chicanes).
