Default Rollers for front end,do they work?

I have seen these shown on a few of the forums cars. Do they really work, can you use driveways with peace of mind? :confused:

I can show you pics of my Nerf bars all scratched up after only 500 KMS, before I put on my undercarriage rollers. You will not stop the air dam from scraping, that is not their purpose. I trimmed my air dam and it hits very little now. I feel very confident in going over any speed bump or entering any driveway.

I have them, it helped before I fixed my driveway transition to street. They will also catch on parking blocks if you pull up to far.

It works for me at least 4 times a day with the entrance driveway and the indoor ramp at my apartment. A few times the valet guys tell me that my front end is going to be destroyed over time. They might think so, but I know my A&A rollers are working everytime. :cheers:

Kudos Andy one of the simplest ideas that has saved VALUBLE turbo plumbing from getting hit!!!!I suggest welding and I have removed and staightened mine 4 times and there as strong as day 1.I also highly recomend the Alum.rocker covers the only hassle is it wont hold jacking pucks so being that I work for Nate @ XTREME my lift problems are tended to differantly but these have saved my butt more than once./Now the car is at stock ride height or maybe 3/8's of an " higher than stock all 4 corners but I dont hurt my Turbos.
Very shortly Nate will re-do my suspension Ground Up and being I will be running custom tuned coil overs (Nate has dicovered the best source) they custom tune all 4 corners for larger engine ,Twin Turbo Kit etc.... and they provide RR track cornering a set ot T-1 bars and energy suspension kit,great rubber 18" all around 18x12" rr with Pilot sport 330/30/18's and 265/30/18's up front on 18x10 or10.5" clears the Turbo plumbing and its all mounted on HRE 547's.When Nate is done the handling already does but will without effort handle twisties to go along with the 850+ bhp and 1100+Lbs. Tqe.
Well as usual my excitement added 500 words sorry just real excited and I may be building an XTREME 10 second 98 T/A so the adrenaline is flowing.If I do the F-Body it will be done in weeks this a motor we love and its a wild Stroker 383C.I.and we always try to have an extra built for customers or employees.Yours Truly.
