Hmmm - not sure if you need them for an Altezza.
Altezza has double wishbone (or similar) front suspension?

Roll centre adjusters are needed for macpherson strut but I don't know of other suspension setups that need them.

"With double wishbone suspension the roll centre moves towards the centre of the turn and it also tends to rise, which causes no serious problem." Jeffrey Daniels Car, Suspension at Work.

I used to think that the orange and green tictacs gave you special powers. The orange ones would make you stronger and the green ones would make you faster. So i used to eat some green ones and run around my lounge as fast as i could, then eat the orange ones and try to pick up the sofa. I wish it were true!

Ive seen a few for sale on some overseas sites, but wondering if there was a cheaper, more accessible option.

Double wishbone suspensions still see a decrease in roll centre height when the ride height is reduced, the extent of which is dependent on the wishbone geometry (as a basic rule, longer arms will give less roll centre height variation with changes in ride height compared to short arms).

Fantastic!! Will you look at selling some parts Barry? I've been puzzling over front AE roll centre adjusters for a while... 8)
