Body roll control...suspension modification

Reply from FD:

Hi Michael,

Yes you can fit our sway bars without the springs. If you are tracking the car we highly advise adding our springs. They greatly improve the handling of the car. They are a little stiffer but since they are different rates and wound shorter they don't harsh the ride much, mostly eliminate the amount of movement overall improving the dive and squat issue with the factory springs.
Noor at Performance Italia can help you with your order. They are our UK distributor. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Best Regards,

it would be interesting to compare what effect has setting new springs vs new ARB. FD told that ARB are for track. Once i had a talk with Jeff, he advised that fitting ARB after springs, will make the car too stiff.

Guys

I'm also looking to reduce body roll... given the car will bottom out at the front on bad roads and slight driveway inclines, i'm hesitant to lower but have ordered the AC uprated ARB.

You can see in the photo, just how much body roll there is - goes from heavy understeer in cornering to power oversteer very easily which is fine on the road but when you want to get round corners in a hurry it can be a total pain



Has anyone tried either of the rear strengthening braces from Ultra Racing?

Never heard of them...until they appeared on ebay!
I know what you mean about the roll.
Lovely looking 3200 you have there!

Strengthening the rear and not doing anything to the front? Now I'd like to see how that corners!!

I would give Noor a shout as he will be able to help you......The FD mods are the way to go......Seems to be a quality item and does what it says on the tin from what I've heard.
