Fix Handling Issues on Your Lowered Honda Civic with Whiteline’s Roll Center & Bump Steer Correction Kit

If you've recently lowered your Honda Civic (FC, FK, FE, FL), you're probably loving how it looks; sleek, sporty, and more aggressive. But there’s one thing you may have noticed that's not so great: your handling isn't what it used to be. Perhaps your steering feels vague, your body roll has increased, or your Civic simply doesn’t feel as predictable when cornering. Don’t worry, you're not alone, and fortunately, there's an easy fix.

Why Does Lowering My Honda Civic Affect Handling?

Here's something critical many drivers aren't aware of: roll center! Put simply, the roll center is the point at which your car’s body pivots or rolls when you're taking corners. When your Civic is at its standard ride height, your roll center sits higher, offering stable handling and minimal body roll. But as soon as you lower your Civic, this roll center position shifts downwards, leading your car to lean more during cornering.

The Hidden Issue: Bump Steer

But here's the catch! While some suspension kits on the market attempt to correct this roll center issue using extended ball joints, many overlook another critical problem this creates: bump steer. Bump steer occurs when your wheels unintentionally steer after hitting bumps in the road, leading to unpredictable handling and reduced driving confidence.

This is exactly where Whiteline’s Front Roll Center & Bump Steer Correction Kit steps in, setting itself apart from other solutions available.

Introducing Whiteline’s All-in-One Solution

Whiteline understands that correcting your Honda Civic’s handling involves more than just adjusting your roll center. That's why our new kit includes not only extended ball joints but also specifically engineered tie rod ends. Together, these components fully correct your Civic’s suspension geometry, eliminating bump steer entirely.

Why Choose Whiteline’s Correction Kit?

• Designed Specifically for North American Honda Civic Models - Whiteline’s correction kit is precision-engineered for the North American 10th and 11th generation Honda Civic models, which feature a 14mm ball joint stud. It’s important to note that international models typically have a 12mm stud, making this kit specifically tailored to fit North American vehicles.
