Roll centre adjustment kit - does it make a difference?
Hi guys,
My bugeye had been lowered by a previous owner so was wondering if an rca kit would help. I fitted mudflaps from scooby world and when cornering i can sometimes hear the fronts scraping on the floor, obviously its always worse with a front passenger. Therefore, i was wondering if fitting this kit would stop the car from rolling in the corners or should i upgrade the droplinks instead, i only have the oem ones fitted?
I know i could just trim the mudflaps but want to fix the cause, not the effects. Could there be anything that could be wrong here as its always the passenger side one that scrapes and not the drivers side one?
Any help is much appreciated.

Of course the kit will work but may not be the whole answer.
The REAL answer is to regain original ride height, put on wheels that will give original ride height, (They can be larger rims, but tyres to suit original rolling radius) and maybe look at the mudflap fitting.

...but since lowering spring tend to be stiffer the overall effect is less roll. All to easy to over-lower an Impreza though. Any more than 20-25mm and roll centre adjusters should be on the shopping list for sure.

Not too sure how much its been lowered to be honest. I could put it back to standard if I bought new springs, I think I may just go down the rca root.
Are the whitened ones any good now as I've seen loads of reports, albeit a couple of years ago, about the quality of them?
