i have rolled 2 vehicles and when im cornering fast in my 94 civic it feels a little top heavy i was wondering what is the most effective way to reduce the body roll is lowering the car really nesessary?
thanks in advanced

 

swaybars and coilovers (not coilover sleeves). atleast some upgraded struts and springs.

 

what are coilover sleeves?

 

If you haven't alreayd invested in a spoiler, i would suggest it when me and my friends in stalled mine i could feel a world of a difference.

 

does any one else have any real advice

slow down at turns?

 

What car do you have? And suspension/lowering is quite helpful. Ever see any track cars that sit at stock height? Just curious. ..

 

i like cornering fast and i am constantly trying to push my car further and further i have a 94 honda civic it is not a track car it is my daily driver and i am trying to make it at least respectable i know that lowering it makes a large difference but i am not ready to do that yet and i was wondering what the next best thing to do is and i am not going to change my driving habbits YET

 

any one have any suggestions

thats the best way to fix this problem, dude if you've rolled two vehicles already its not the cars its the driver. What are you hitting these turns at 100 and what are they sharp as hell. Dude I have a H22 Hatch thats a lil heavy in the front and yet I still don't even start to tip or anything when hitting turns faster than usual.

 

So lemme see if I got you right..... youre pushing a stock civic to its limits???? A stock civic with stock suspension doesnt have very big limits..... If you want it to handle excelent in the corners, get some full coilovers, sticky *** tires (azenis), some subframe and strut tower bracing and get some wider wheels..... Its not gonna handle like a Porsche but it will be 1000 times better!!!!

 

if its stock drive like its stock

 

they werent cars they were lifted trucks and they were while i was weelin in some pretty crazy inclines one was a lifted ranger sittin on 35s and the other was a bronco sitin on 38s so im not taking corners at 100 botth of the rollovers happend at speeds of less then 15mph so can someone please answer my question i dont think the car is going to roll i just dont like that it feels like its going to i want something that will make it so it dosnt feel so top heavy

 

specscow: upgrade your suspension, as schardbody mentioned.

Sway bars will reduce the noticeable roll of the vehicle, proper coilovers will handle the forces better.

Suspension is one thing where you very much get what you pay for. If you want cornering performance out of your car, you need to either deal with the roll it responds with, or spend some money in upgrades.

The good news is that unless you hit something, you are far more likely to spin out than flip.

A.) don't drive like a jackass on the streets. You don't need your car to pull 1.2g's on the way to the grocery store. Grow up.

B.) strut tower braces, sway bars, sticky tires and big spring rates.

C.) if you can afford it, a full-body seam-stitch welding program will make everything firm.

D.) you suck. Die in a fire.

 

This thread and the OP are ******* loss causes. He's not taking our advice, doesn't want to upgrade suspension. What the **** do you think, changing nothing on the car and somehow it's going to handle like a dream? Grow up and get over it.
Either upgrade the suspension, or stop driving like a ******* retard. Those are your only two options. . . actually, your only option is to change your suspension, the driving like a ******* retard just needs to quit all together.

 

Strut Bars and Sway bars, or slowing down

 

thanks for the info and no im not going to do all this to a stock car its also my project rig im slowly doing what i can to it with the little time i have i plan on doing some suspension but i didnt know how much of that **** i see on other cars made a difference i was trying to get some peoples advice that have done this to their car and if it really made a difference

 

lowwer it. if u dont then just keep rolling it.

its similar to a coilover system only that it goes over your stock/aftermarket shock.-- hence the name. A full coilover system includes the shock assembly.

Maybe you should stick with riding the bus. I know if I have rolled two vehicle, i prolly would drive like an idiot because obviously you are a bad driver. Take our advise before you get yourself hurt or hurt someone else
