      I dunno what it is, but while everyone else was sliding all over the place, I could slam on the brakes, throw her into a corner and come out fast :shrugs:

          That's insane. Blows me away. I thought I had a lot of body roll still, and I look at pictures like that and realize I don't have much anymore. hehe

            What's scary...

            funny how those cars with all of that body roll are pretty quick. Also pretty forgiving.

                  Bushings, strut braces, sway bars, new shcoks, mounts, control arms, tie rods, race springs...and I think you will be happy.

                      I suggest ST Sway bars + IE reinforcement. Then, H&R Race Springs, HD Bilsteins.

                          And $1000 - $2000 poorer. Then slam on the brakes, throw it into the corner, and come out with cones for spring pads.

                            Lots of people mistake stiff for grippy. Soft springs give you better grip, stiff springs give you better response.

                              the main problem with body roll on our cars is the gain of camber in the front that causes severe push.
