So today after class theres this turn that takes me on the on ramp to 610. Well the light was green so i figured I could push my car little around the corner. Corner was semi sharp. I lowered my car on sprint springs with kyg gr2s. Well I only took the turn at about 40 mph and I had body roll like theres no tomorrow. I have the stock gt front strut bar and i know that does crap, but how can i eliminate this body roll. I know suspension technique sway bars will do, but will i also need the front and rear strut bars with the sway bars? Or can I just do the sway bars and not have to worry about the strut bars?

I guess you're right, but don't you ever get the need to just feel the what the car can do? its no fun if you cant take corners or accelerate better than stock right?

Upgrading the shocks/struts will definitely make it better then stock. I got better handling when I upgraded to bigger wheels. -Matt |
