Roll Center Adjusters

Does anyone know how low our FBs need to be before you should be using roll center adjusters? If you use them without having the suspension set low is there any disadvantage?

I just bought some front coilovers, and roll center adjusters came with them, I just don't really know enough about them to know if I should put them in or not.

Thanks

i think we, or rather JGrewe told us that the ideal ride height is with the inner control arm bolt 5/8" above the ball joint.

not the easiest thing to measure, but i think its kind of near the bottom of the stock ride height spec, so its not really low

So do you need to put roll center adjusters in at that height or any lower and you would need them? I guess my main question is do they have any negative impact if you put them in without being at a specific height?
