That is quite unfortunate.

For me, springs and shocks have always been the difference in body roll.

To be fair I did upgrade to Swift springs. So there may not be as dramatic of a difference between stock with just a sway bar upgrade and both a spring/sway bar upgrade.

The car definitely handles better, but not sure how it translate once you apply the clock. The back end also seems to slide out a little more than before. I have to make sure I get used to it

Alignment specs? I doubt it's perfect first time out with heigh and settings and such. It'll come.

Won't know until tomorrow, I haven't driven the car since I finished two days ago.

Too stiff could also cause the back end to slide out as well. Maybe your rear end is heading in the wrong direction as far as spring weight?

cossie1600 12-19-2013 07:43 PM

It feels like there is not enough transfer to the rear. When I step on the gas, I feel like the back end wants so step out where the oem suspension will squat and light up the inner rear. Of course it is too early to say, I will update saturday

More weight transfer to the back = less front rebound.

GSS138 12-20-2013 12:20 PM

Adding a wing back there will definitely help push it down as well once you are at higher speed, but yeah rebound will be a better adjustment below 60 mph. If your front rebound is already at its lowest setting, then softer springs in the rear if it's too loose.

03threefiftyz 12-20-2013 12:23 PM

You can also bump up rear rebound and/or drop rear compression, but going up in rear rebound can cause jacking, and make the car push after progressively loaded turns (spring won't return sufficiently). I would try front rebound first, then drop rear spring or bar if that doesn't work.

This is exactly what all the drag racers complain about this car.
