Rob, are you not running TT's anymore or were you already taking points for a rear bumpsteer kit? I got rid of mine and didn't notice any appreciable difference.

Yea, I'm already taking points for the rear bump steer kit so no points added. I'm right at the limit now for PTB, but no effect on the SCCA's ITE.
Since I'm already taking points for the SPC front adjustable ball joints I'm in the middle of installing Megan Racing front roll center adjusters for no points. How-to to follow.

The front RCAs are a pretty easy install. I had some J's RCA/camber joints on my previous s2000 which are an identical design. The biggest thing that makes the install any kind of a pain is you'll have to raise the coilovers and realign the car. (maybe not the alignment part b/c yours aren't camber joints too)
For reference I had to go up about 5 full turns on my coilovers to compensate for the RCAs if that gives you a starting point for having your ride height back to where it started.

Thanks for the help on the ballpark coil over adjustment Steve. I'm expecting the roll center adjusters and the bump steer kit to both add some toe out so I'm planning to dust off the Longacre alignment tools and reset the toe myself. The camber and caster shouldn't have changed much so a toe adjustment should be all I need.

On yeah I forgot about that. I think mine had crazy toe out when I did it but again a lot of that might have come from the fact that they were camber joints as well. When we first slapped them on I was immediately at almost -4 camber up front.
On a side note with these cars when you raise the front or rear toe goes in or out?
