^^^ Yes that's the correct name, some people call them bump steer spacers also.

And they are not needed except for circuit racing. Most guys who lower do not use them and it still works out good.

I'm sure not every one feels the same but I noticed a HUGE difference in my lowered street car and I now consider them a necessity if your going to lower your car more than a couple inches. before the RCA' were installed the slightest bump would send me into the oncoming lane, after the RCA's steering is much more predictable. just my 2 cents.

Im starting to agree with Hobbes, I had lowered my car 2 inches and all was well, then I dropped another inch and all of a sudden the car moves all over the lanes.

all of the above..

 

wonder if those were made for the 200sx struts. The center "step" looks a little bigger then some of the others.

 

I do like the step on the red ones where the bolts go.

as for price, I think ebay might be the cheapest place to find them. a ratsun guy sells some for 510s on ebay for about $50 and that was the cheapest I have seen them.

Good to hear. It sounds like more guys should use them.

They are called Roll Center adjusters, because they raise the roll center so that the car stays more flat in turns.

During normal wheel travel over lumps in the road the LCA swings upward (or downward) through a short arc and because of this shortens it's horizontal length. Effectively it pulls inward on the bottom of the strut and increases the positive camber the further up or down it moves. If at stock height and horizontal the effect is very slight, but if the car (and the crossmember mounting point for the LCA) is lowered, the arm must tilt upward slightly. Now when hitting a bump the LCA swings even further upward through this arc and shortens it's horizontal length drastically adding positive camber and toe in.

 

Fitting a spacer between the LCA and the bottom of the strut lowers it into a more horizontal position where the effects of bumps are lessened.
