Default Air suspension with BBK

Was looking at a StopTech BBK but they say they're only good to 2.5" down due to rotor-to-ball joint clearance. The car has air suspension so will go lower than that.

I've not worked on this car much at all so I could be wrong but I would have thought that once the rotor is on the hub the ball joint to rotor clearance would be static? This not the case?

Easy solution to your problem, get some roll center adjusters or RCAs.

Well he said rotor to ball joint. Maybe you can find pics of a install.

The thing is that the RCA will move the rotor away from the balljoint, I have the Stoptech 355mm BBK and 30mm RCA - I noticed that the rotors now have more clearance but exactly how much I cannot remember.

I will try to snap a pic.

Thanks for the replies, angus - that would be great if you could.

Happy to get some RCA's if that's what it needs. Talking about these right?
