I would imagine what springs/coilovers you used to drop it probably has an effect on body roll.

Slamming it does not automatically equal better performance.

if the springs are soft, then yes it makes sense. sway bars will help cure this illness.

i know the shocks are still good. i know that slamming it does not give it any more performance thats not what i was looking for. does anyone know what spring rate comes with the Skunk 2 pro series coilovers? this is there full coilover setup

ya man, g2 pimp out that suspension w/ that super GSR for ur autocross racing, eh?

Blah, how much suspension do uneed for a daily driver?

IF ur running a GSR bottom and a B16 head u obviously aren't + ITR psitons, u obviously are keeping it NA, and obviously it's not a drag car...

So is it all neccessary for daily driving?

as for ur quesiton, I'd add the sway bars, usually u'll get better handlign w/ a lower car and less body roll (obviously), but if dropped too far it may need more stability b/c the structural integrity of ur suspension system is compromized by the height...sway bars obviously would fix this..

That or raise it up a bit...

Basically it's less body roll the lowr u go, but if u go too low u start to gain body roll unless u have sway bars...

That's my exp though....maybe not physics correct, but that's what I learned from my experience..

Just get the sway bars, guaranteed it'll feel right O.o

Also, b4 u get the sway bars, go to a tire shop and get a 4 wheel alignment (should be about 100 bux) - make sure all the tires are balacned properly, and all the caster/camber/toe is correct..

The lower u go the more u have to adjust ur camber (adjustable camber plates) - so it may be outta whack b/c of that...get that checked first...if it still feelsl ike it rolls to much, sway bars
