Yep, seeing i started this thread a while ago i should say that if anyone is lowering their old celicas and spending a little bit of money (ie new springs, bushes, etc) in the end it is worth it to get these spacers to correct your lower control arm angle..
I had horrendous bump steer and ended up replacing every component in my steering setup& front suspension, which tightened up the feel of the car round bends and removed the steering slop, but it still felt like the KYBs werent dampening many smaller bumps even.. When i fitted the roll centre adjusters, which were about the same thickness as my springs were lower than standard (ie ~35mm), the problem was cured almost %100!! which was a vast improvement over the thousand+ dollars or whatever spent on swaybars, springs, bushes, steering box rebuilds, tie rod ends etc.. etc.. Car was still low as it was before  handled way better, finally felt like a sports coupe should.. and it felt like suspension components were taking many more bumps than previously with shocks pre-loaded and control arms at a bad angle from the low springs..
you could really notice a massive difference in the amount of feedback through the steerer as if the whole car was still as stiff as a board but the steering was just under so much less stress to hold the cars front body weight around corners, like having power-assisted steering almost.. and i was running wide rims 7"s on the front.. could really throw the car around a lot more and not have the turning wheels tugging on the steering wheel so much in your grip.
Best $75 ive ever spent in doing up the ra28 as far as handling goes.
