body roll Options

[TRD-ST204]

My GT has a lot of body roll, it occurs even when turning slightly. On several occassions the rear has broke loose because of the weight transfer. What are some good parts can I buy to make it go away. Also I have a lot of ground clearance can anyone help me out?

[Gilbert_619]

the best way is to cage it up i think....


or just get new shocks..lower it and struts it up too

[dabbill]

Coilovers will help alot. Droping my car about 3 inches with some coilovers off ebay took a lot of the body roll out.

I think some springs or such would help a ton. Also, You could try some sway bars... Thats what there made for, but i would do the springs first.. or do it all at once..

3 inches no way did you lower it that much. i slammed mine like 2.25 and i have like no suspension.

[TTE]

I think in your case your shocks need replacement. I know that I've been there

[dabbill]

I have no suspention left. I went from a 3.5 inch gap over my old wheels to a .5 inch gap over the same wheels.

coilovers with koni adjustables will do very good...
suspension technique sway bar kit will do REALLY VERY Good
strut tower bars in the front and back and you are completly set

sounds like you need some shocks and springs. Your sway bar link bushings may also be shot.

[Mike]

New tires too, with a bigger contact patch

get new springs and shocks. that should bring it to better than stock. then get the suspension tech sway bars off nopi for like 250. but only get the sway bars if you wanna go crazy with handling. if you just want the best pakge for your cash get the kyb struts and springs. i prefer sprint. but ya know.

Just what everyone said already.

also, the cheap way out would be strut bars and change the rear sway bar bushings and links.

[frosty]

Oh crap, just redo your whole suspension!

[playr158]

^basically what he should do......if your goin to do it you might as well do it right the first time...
priority order is as follows
1) springs
2) shocks
3) sway bars and bushings
4) strut tower bars (front and back)

[Akimbo]

Links for sways bars, bushings, and strut tower bars?

[stcivickiller]

well for starters coilover off of ebay are probebly ur worst choice if u wanna do it right go with some eibach springs or some H&R springs something nice or if ur gonna do coilovers buy nice ones or the real deal ture coilovers u could also go with strut bars front and rear sway bars u really only need a rear sway bar and a 3pt. stress bar in the rear helps caging it would tighten it up but its kinda of an extreme solution some good tires would help keep traction too

[TRD-ST204]

Thanks for all your replies it helps me out a lot. I heard the TRD springs were really "good." What exactly can I expect from it.

[shadycrew31]

sorry for bringing up a dead topic but trd's i hear do an inch all around. there stiff but so are sprints and tein's. in the end its your call. but keep in mind that eibach make's trd's springs so yea. good luck!

eh-hem, do not buy sustension techniques sway bars, those were the only option up until last week when we got deals w/ C-One
do a search, the C-One sway bars should show up, i believe $200ea.
not sure.

As for a springs, anything works well
TRD drops the same amount as S-Tech
there's 1 set of springs that does a lower front than back
Eibach sportlines are more performance based than pro-kit so using them might lead you into buying new struts/shocks as well to keep the ride smooth.

if you go to the links on the main page, i found out most of my info from the Henry site, granted it isn't 100% up to date, it's still a decent site.

First off... the rear-end of a FWD car can't break out/loose or whatever unless you're yanking on the e-brake. Body roll is due to soft suspension parts... If you're at stock height, worn out shocks can cause increased body roll. I don't reccomend putting money into sway bars unless you're gonna race your car every now and then... as in going to the track and running autoX (not street racing). Lower springs will help... but they're not the problem. The shocks are the problem. Bushings can also be a culprit... but they usually don't completely change a car's handling characteristics when they go bad. Strut bars are mostly to look pretty... cause unless you're gonna race (like mentione above)... they don't help much. That's about it...
