FS: J's Racing RCA

J's Racing RCA's help improve the handling of your Fit and prevents bump steer when lowered more then 1.5"

retails for $220 + shipping, and to install requires a press and labor fees, so come get it for $220 installed onto your fit by swapping out your lower control arms with mine. Alignment will be needed afterwards, but at least you get these suspension add ons.

Link to actual unit
A&J Racing :: Suspension & Brakes :: Fit/Jazz (GD3/4) :: J's Racing Roll center adjuster for Honda Fit GD3 2007 & up

located in Diamond bar, and only available on Sat mornings. Good for So Cal buyers.

I've been wanting these... how long have you had them for? and is your price negotiable? ... am I tripping, or did you put your car up for sale while back?

I haven't put my car up for sale...I did however put all my parts up for sale. I had the RCA's for less then a year, and probably less then 5k miles. It was just used to daily drive, but then my wife got laid off hence why i barely used them. They are solid aluminum and steal so i doubt they would go bad...boots maybe, but then they should last a good 60k miles anyways.

I can't really say, since I don't track the car...and my daily commute usually consist of under 30mph....so i never did a before and after test. No bump steer is all I can say.

RCA is to push the control arm down so that it will be in the factory position preventing bump steer. You have to read up on it...takes a lot to explain it. It's not to puch wheels out or anything.

NRCA's on the other hand do that, but mainly for the ae86.

i have seen the nrca's on the ae86 that is why i was wondering if the wheels were affected. i read j's description of what they do. a picture would help though.

it'd be easy to understand if you got under your car and looked at where it goes. it changes the pivot point for the lower arms of the front suspension (so that the angle of the arms is like that with a stock ride height). think when your wheels go up and down as you drive, the control arm pivots. the roll center adjuster gives it a new pivot point. hope that helps, and i hope i am not mistaken either haha.

that being said, is the J's exhaust for sale? and is you price on the RCA's negotiable?

Thanks!

i can't say for sure, but i believe so. in theory they should be helpful in any lowered suspension, but i think you probably won't experience the full benefits without a more tuned suspension (not just springs but with dampers too, or a coilover system).

Here is where it goes. It extends the ball joint of the lower control arm back to oem position.





BTW these pix are off a civic but it's the same concept and it mounts the same.

both of you are right on different aspect...just thing of it this way.

When lowered you go over freeway connections and when you hit a bump you jump around.....with these you jump around less...meaning more stable in your lane.

I don't have my J's racing exhaust anymore..only items I have are what I put up...which is this and the exhaust.
