Would i be correct in this asumption or am i missing something .
I am just wondering with what you gain in having truly independant suspension you would loose in body roll under hard cornering ,
I admit i could be way off the mark here (and am secretly hoping so)
so feel free to explain what i am missing or is it homemade anti roll bar time (i think one of those whiteline adjustable bj ones could be made to fit)
cheeers jon
I think a roll bar is still needed, but a small one. Bugs are soo light, I'm not sure that the diameter would be very much at all. I'm going to wait and let the car tell me how much roll bar it needs, spring rates are the first step, then shock tuning, then roll bar after that is my order. What do you have up your sleeve Jon?!
