Reducing body roll

DjSquall · 07-24-2015, 06:41 AM

Hey guys, I'm wondering what parts will help me with reducing body roll?

I'm on kwv3 coil overs. I know sway bars will help, but also wondering what other parts play a role. Also, which brands would you guys recommend?

Body-roll balance is handled by anti-roll bars.
Body-roll amount is handled by spring rate.

Reduce body roll? Eat healthy and exercise?

OK I'm a sorry. In all seriousness you need to tires, spring or coil overs then whatever it takes to get them align right.

KW V3's are sprung soft and also have progressive spring rates. The best you can do is stiffen the dampening and replace the swaybars. Hotchkis, Whileline, Godspeed, Progress are all pretty beefy and will make a pretty big difference. Or you can look into replacing the KW's with a stiffer coilover setup

Nismo 3 point chassis braces
Gt spec F/R ladder bracing
and as already mentioned tires, springs/coilovers, and sways w/spl endlinks

All together body roll is nearly eliminated

Edit: and throw a roll cage in there and you got a pretty serious track car

Do not get the whiteline sway products.

Sway bars, and playing with spring rates will be the best way. Have you had the car corner balanced since the Coilovers where installed?

I had it balanced initially when I had it slammed all the way. Didn't re-balance since I've raised her up. My heights and damper rates are all dialed in at about 50%.

@gomer - why stay stock with the rear sways?
