Body Roll....!!! - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

sgtmorph · 02-15-2011, 01:44 AM

Im a big fan of taking turns at high speeds

at the moment, my suspension is still stock.

I need to get rid of this god-awful body roll.

what have you guys done to get rid of it?

what yielded the biggest results?

thx

suspension will be the biggest improvement hands down. bracing helps but the body roll is related to the damper and weight transfer during turns.

Front bar, rear bar, underbraces, both sways and some coilovers. Rock solid.

I'm hoping eibach finishes the development of the sportlines soon. The pro-kit is not enough for me. In my experience and opinion, sportlines coupled with a good shock/strut setup yields a nice handling setup.

heres what I'm going to do, sway bars will be your best bet particularly with stiff bushings. Also bigger wheels all the way around would be good as well, with stickier tires. Add front camber to negate the under steer it wont handle like a FR but it will handle waaaay better.

with those mods you wont lose your drivability
when I had my Prelude I left my stock suspension alone, and did those things, and I was keeping up with my buddies WRX in the mountains

Having done some research regarding the HS class in SCCA autoXing, a change to the front sway bar is allowed, soooooo anyone have thoughts as to which ones are available sgt?

I am waiting on the eibach coilovers. Going off how well they do on springs the coilovers should work really well. I also want to upgrade the front sway bar and add some bracing. Not real sure about the rear sway bar. Since its a beam in the rear, will adding a rear sway bar really do anything other that look cool?
