Still have body roll

as yall know, on the DC5 i have the a-spec suspension, and it handles great. but i still have a little bit too much body roll for the kind of driving i do. any ideas on what parts i should consider that will eliminate it without braking the bank?

Get coilovers and upgrade the sway bars.

Stick some bars that go out sideways with tiny wheels on them. Kinda like a wheelie bar but on the sides....


lol, I bet that would look hilarious..... ANYWAYS...... rear sway bar, and coilovers will help a lot. Now, I mention the rear not the front because if you get a front bar it will help induce understeer more *BAD*, but if you get a rear sway bar it should help induce more oversteer *GOOD*, not too much to drift, but enough to help the rear end rotate. However if you can afford it, go with both front and rear

well i went to look at rear sway bars as you guys suggested... and now im convinced i need a WHOLE new suspension set up... keeping the s-spec suspension of course...i want sways, upper and lower ca's tie rod ends, energy suspension bushings(motor and suspension), strut tower bars... i want a touge machine

ya i would love to have everything that you just mentioned... first i would go with the sway bars... if you can afford it then do both and get new bushings for them... also get a c-pillar bar, and strut tower bars... that shouldnt be too expensive... and will tighten everything up... im assuming that ur struts are still in pretty good shape and are probably pretty aggressively valved, so you might be able to get some springs or coilover sleeves for cheap...

whatever you decide to do post some pics... i wanna see

Touge Monster Formula:

1) Extreme performance tires
2) High performance brake pads
3) Coilovers
4) Larger sway bars (front/rear)
5) Lots of practice

Just keep the tires that you're on until they're wasted. Which Falkens do you have again? Stock brakes will be fine until you reach a high level. The A-Spec suspension is actually ok. I've tracked with some dudes from ClubRSX and this one guy has the same suspension.

i think i have the 452's? they have no grip if you try to dig, they will spin all day long.(could be because they are still new) but they def hold their own in a turn. untill you start to really push, then the front end wants to tuck... :roll:

Those are definitely the wrong tires for attacking corners. No wonder why you're not sticking. Those are more for VIP cars. I would just use them up, then get a set of stickier tires.
