it won't do anything to the roll center. semi trailing arm roll centers get affected by the angle between the 2 mounts on the subframe where the arm bolts to.

look up E30 trailing arm stuff. it's the same philosophy.

why don't more people just run solid diff mounts front and back? i've had them for over 5 years and haven't broken anything(besides axles from all the gripz i have)

I have the Solid Subframe Risers from PBM but I have not installed them yet. Want to have a back to back comparison and see how much they affect the handling/grip.

But what you just noted sil8ty is very interesting and got me thinking again. Back in my grip days I've thought about repositioning the pick up point for the trailing arm vertically and having adjustment in that sense. Probably something I will have to save for next year though.

But I do think the SFR from PBM will help correct roll center just a tad by raising the subframe, in turn raising the pivot on the trailing arm.
