This picture may not show much but i've seen other pictures of myself and the body roll on the front end of my car is more then i would like.

My setup is Fortune Auto Coilovers ( 7kg front, 6kg Rear ) , Suspension techniques sway bars, i was using 205/55/R16 tires in front at the time... there is lots more but i dont know what else would relate to body roll.

any of you guys in the same boat as me ? advice/input ?

stiffer springs?

[nathanong87]

55 series tires are probably mushy.

lol. 55 series sidewall. run stiffer springs. stiffen the coils. run sway bars. put a cage in your car.

but serious....it's not even remotely bad. lol

A lot of it is from the side wall probably

Red items are your problem. Run stiffer rates (i have almost no body roll with 10/8 fortunes, nismo power brace, ST sways and FSTB) Only limit to my setup is my sidewalls are probably pretty soft and flex during hard corners. Tires are 215/45/17 Kuhmo AST for now.

Large sidewalls could be compensated with higher PSI.. try adding more psi then the recommended amount.

yeah i didnt like using 55 sidewall tires but i had to use what i had.
i know thge body roll isint BAD but ive seen many other cars out there with much less body roll. i figured it would probably be my spring rates.

Maybe, just possibly it is from throwing all of the weight of the car to one side? I mean, I'm no scientist but that seems like the most logical reasoning

body roll isn't necessarily bad. How much power are you running? honestly, I'd just go with a 17 or 18 inch wheel, with a good tire with a much smaller sidewall upfront and see where you're at, the more power you have the more you're going to love those soft springs.

Try putting some preload on the springs in the meantime if you want though, but you're just going to loose front grip.

for power im probably at 250 ... im in the middle of installing a to4e turbo so it might get it up to 300 hp.
i figured the tires were the culprit. i would love to pick up some 17 inch drift spares but i cant afford them at the moment so i gotta stick with what i have.

if you preload the springs wouldnt that lead to coil bind ?
