Reducing body roll
 

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?

What........you no like being a muffle-top? :eek:

2X on what osbornsm said. :tup:

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.

sway bars. kw's have progressive springs btw. oem are linear

Thank you.

Any suggestions on which sway bars to get?

hotchkis

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

:iagree:

Only use the front though. Just stay stock with the rear bar.

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?

Eibach. It comes as a set, front and rear.

Rear bar will induce oversteer. If you like drifting then by all means swap the rear bar. Otherwise just stick with stock. If you check out the track threads you'll see most of the track guys run a stock or near stock stiffness rear bar while running a very stiff front bar. In fact, many believe even the Hotchkis bar isn't stiff enough in the front.

fwiw I've actually removed my rear sway. With that being said I've got stiff springs and the car is primarily used for autox. I wouldn't recommend this if your DDing the car.

Whitelines front and back even of the softest setting made my 350 a bit too stiff and lacking grip (all other things being equal, inc geometry). Fun at 40mph, scary at 80.
