To those of you who open-track, time-trial or road race the S197:
When you lowered the cars, how did you achieve correction of the front roll centre?
As I see it you have two options; being the Steeda Roll Center Relocation Kit #555-8116 or use an extended lower ball Joint, like the Steeda/Moog etc (for the FR500C Control Arms M-3075-R). One raises the inner pivot points by 0.75", the others lower the outer pivot point by ~0.75".
I can run my car at 100mm/~4" clearance of all fully sprung components excluding the complete exhaust system, when the car is at MINIMUM WEIGHT; so before you add fuel and driver (weird rule I know). Most S197s seem to use a 1.5-3" drop for road racing as far as I can tell.
Not to say you couldn't run both, but is there a preferred option used by most?
