Default Body Roll?

I have a 98 GSR with neuspeed race spring and strut braces front and rear, when cornering with my 205-50-15 Falken Azenis 615 i get a lot of body roll. More so then with proxes 4. Is this because im geting more traction or because of the tire.Im entering a 90 degree turn at 45 or 50 mph.

It's not because of the tire. It may be because the greater traction of the sticky RT-615 allows much higher cornering speeds than with the crappy Proxes 4 all-season tires. The only time the Proxes 4 will give you more grip is any time it snows in the O.C.

lol yeah that wont happen! I know the falkens have better grip than the toyo's its just that when i take the 90 degree corner at 50 it feels like i am driving on door handles, you know what i mean. Does anybody else have the same experience, and would aftermarket shocks help?

aftermarket shocks and an ITR 22mm sway bar+ beaks/bsq kit would decrease body roll and understeer
