    Whoa, the front stays perfectly flat but the rear body roll is noticable? So is your car's body twisting in the middle? I don't get it....

    FWIW almost all the body roll on an E30 happens at the front with the rear going along for the ride. Going to a larger rear bar merely takes weight off the inside rear tire and has little effect on overall body roll.

      Randy, my car has a similar feel as Ely describes. I run ST bars (22/19) with M3 front links, and I feel like the rearend doesn't follow through. The front feels great on the limit, but the rear seems to roll more, perhaps body twist? My car has roughly 240k on the clock and has had bodywork in many places, and stress cracks have been noticed in the chassis. Do you think this could contribute to my cars feel, having been wrecked--maybe twisting??

      I'd appreciate any input,
      Thanks.
