if your on coils, its been reduced a lot. that being said why not try it out yourself instead of asking people who cant drive YOUR car.

Strut bars won't really decrease your body roll too much, more body flex than anything.

The coilovers will substantially decrease your body roll. Like with my JIC coils, they is pretty much zero body roll lol.

Stiff coils = go kart status

sorry yeah i meant flex not roll, the tein HE's are pretty effing stiff

i have driven it and it does corner way better over stock but i guess i messed up i mean flex

i have heard it reffered to a reduction in a percentage like i hear roll cages reduce it by 40% something like that

lmao. what did ya want? go track it and let us know how it feels. if ya think about it it would be like someone making a post about "how much hp am i making with my setup"i dont think anyone was bein harsh. get yer panties outta a waud. im sure you reduced body roll/flex significantly.

the braces reduced flex, everything else reduced roll.

and i just looked at the topics youve created........no wonder you get alot of s***, lol.

Body Roll reduction......alot maybe?

But this isnt something people can honestly answer without actually driving the car.Why dont you just get in car and find out yourself?This thread is silly.
