Lots of body roll... (s14)

[GODCHSR]

OK, my only suspension modifications are KYB AGX Adjustable shocks and H&R Sport Springs.

I'm looking for some common sense answers here... What is the weak links on cornering with our cars?

I ask this because when I go into corners hard there is a massive amount of roll... SO MUCH that the car will fully sway hard in one direction without any tire squeal TILL the body 'hits' it's full sway. It makes it slightly unpredictable when attempting drifiting because you never can be certain when the tires will break because the body weight is lagging behind.(If this doesn't make any sense I apologize but I don't know all the cornering terms as of yet)

strut tower bars help.

sway bars?

since you already have coilovers

[240dx]

get strut bars. There cheap and very efficient

If you have body roll then you need a sway bar upgrade.

Strut bars won't help very much with body roll.

Look for sway bars or damaged sway bar end links. If your end links are damaged/separated, you'll get massive body roll.

Everyone's already mention sway bars, but what spring rates do you have on your coilovers? I have 8 k up front and 6 k in the rear and I don't get very much bodyroll at all.

I am not sure I'll have to research that one.

I modified my original post... I do NOT have coilovers. I have adjustable shocks and sport springs.

Sorry for the misinformation.

THere you go then. When I had Eibach sportlines, I was still getting lots of bodyroll. Both on my fastback and on my S14. It probably has a lot to do with your springs then.

yeah if u dont have coilovers i highly reccomend it, stop being a p**** if i may say so and just slap some on.its like a whole new feeling.ive driven cars with aftermarket shocks and springs and compared to coils they are nothing!

(You're not stupid dude)

I will definitely be upgrading my suspension. To be honest its a good setup but since I'll be doing drag racing specifically and not using this as a DD much longer I figure I should go for a specific setup.

I planned on up grading the entire rear suspension but I think I'll start with the sway bars.
