What is the best way cut down on body roll. i want tighter turning..Im clueless about suspension/ endlinks and all that lol.......( Super Noob Question) sorry.. i can hold my own when it comes to engine contents...... .....

Swaybar, endlinks, stiffer suspension...all can be purchased for about $600 and the difference in handling will be like night and day as each of those parts contributes to eliminating body roll. If you're on a budget, I'd suggest getting the endlinks first, then springs, then the swaybar...Get your endlinks from RacingLine.com, and your swaybar and springs from Stillen. All are very easy to install on your own and can be done in the span of an afternoon.

The cherry on top would have to be a killer wheel/tire combo. That can get to be a bit pricey though....

Eibach springs get your car lower to the ground, helping to reduce lean through corners.

Stillen rear sway bar is stiffer, and the racing line endlinks help out too.

In terms of a true suspension overhaul, there isn't anything yet, so you aren't truely able to play around with it until NISMO or Tein or a company of the like releases suspension upgrades (coilovers, etc) for the coupe.

+1 for the Stillen swaybar

Don't forget wider and better tires. To me the was the best thing then the other parts just made it that much better.

Post by **LongBeachCoupe** » Fri Oct 10, 2008 8:47 am

+1 to that JoseOn the stock tires i felt like they werent wide enough to get planted... a 8.5 wide tire with some decent rubber makes a BIG difference!

Ok so heres a noob question too... whats the difference between the ebiach springs and endlinks? i know that the springs lower the car and reduces body roll increasing handling but what do the endlinks do? and is it either or? or can you have both?

Springs adjust your suspension and lower the car. the end link tighten the steering. Someone correct me if wrong.

I did not do the rear end links but did the Stillen sway bar and love the ride. THe front end links are the Racing-line and that made the biggest difference in my steering. Much tighter in the the handling.Look at my sig below and you will see what is on the car now...Tires,, is what i need just not sure WHAT size....any help there would be nice....

I have 245/40/18 tires, racing line front and rear endlinks, and eibach lowering springs, the handles so much better.

I'm running 225/40/18s, Racing line endlinks, Eibach pro springs and soon Stillen rear swaybar. The handling is incredible over stock and with the stillen sway bar soon to be installed, I'm sure it'll even be better!

I have all of the above upgrades and my coupe hangs with evo's bro

Blake, Do you know why Stillen isn't making a front tower support for out coupes? I think that would look really good and functional for the coupe don't you think?

They actually fell off the boat on the STB, however, their is a company that is creating a STB as we speak. It should be done fairly soon

Nice! what other information are you withholding?

I got new wider wheels. It made the car feel less "sloppy" But it didnt reduce body roll yet.

It did stop that weird feeling from 215/60/16 tires. Felt like the tires was rolling all over under me when i took a corner. Was sickening.
