I've said it about 20 times here, but I'll say it again, the rear roll center does NOT drop as quickly as the front when lowering the car. Raising the rear roll center up to almost stock height when you've lowered the rear CG a few inches is going to create an UNFAVORABLE roll axis inclination in that it crosses through your CG axis. This causes all sorts of undesirable things to happen with your suspension.

I still have no clue why people think going to stock geometry is the right thing to do when you've now lowered your CG significantly. These two things work together, why in the world would you want to keep one the same and change the other one significantly?
I was referring to the method used to correct the roll center, not necessarily the amount. You know damn well that I know exactly what you posted above is true. That was a big damn topic in my thread on NRR and the main reason why I created the thread in the first place. I have a lot of respect for your knowledge and abilities but you are really becoming a pain in the ass. If you wanna clarify my post, that's fine, but enough with the argumentative bullshit from you.

EDIT: There, I edited my other post to clarify EXACTLY what I was talking about.
