I dont feel like I can take corners very well. Too much body roll. I have my stillen sways set at front= med and rear= hard. Am I doing something wrong?

 

Are you running stock tire sizes?...

 

Body roll is just showing you the weight/load transfer. It in itself is not a bad thing. You determine how much body roll you want select springs that give you 120-130% of that, then fine tune it in with sway bars.

Tires provide 90% of what's possible and a fine tuned suspension gives you the other 10%.....................changing suspension: springs, sway bars, shocks any and everything cannot make a 5% change in MEASURED G forces

 

yea, Im running the stock size bridgestones on the OEM 19's. the car feels unstable when pushed hard.

 

I know that when I upsized my front tires from 225 to 245 it made a world of difference

 

Ralph, what tires are you running right now?

 

they are 225/40 front and 245/40 rear tires. Its the oem size.

 

+1

this car needs body roll to some degree unless you got a specific
camber/toe angle setup and need to keep very close to that
setting.

 

What sidewall roll stiffness setting [aka PSI] are you using? 51 psi max tires need 41 PSI cold minimum.............80% of max cold to start.

 

Im set at about 35 psi. what would happen if I start messing about with the settings on the sway bars. ie: change the rear to med and front to soft?

 

^ more roll

 

would I be better off setting front= hard and rear= hard?

 

I would be curious to wonder if this didnt happen before you installed the new bars? My 2005 with sport suspension and same tires/rims corners great. The car corners very smooth and never has so much body roll where it would make me feel unsafe.

Are you taking the car to the track? If not you might be better off with the stock suspension.

no. you're better off running soft/med (f/r) and running higher
damp rate for your prokits. if you want the max out of your sus,
you're using the wrong springs. those are for looks and comfort (street).

i have my D-Specs set pretty stiff cause my initial bound is soft
from my progressive rate springs (S-tech front/Prokit rear). it's a
good compromise between looks, comfort, and decent performance
for street. i wouldn't track my car in this setup though as the
initial bound is still not sharp enough for track. id need to run
linear rate springs for that.

 

I have the "Sport" suspension on my sedan also, it corners great. the only thing I dislike is the "bump steer" effect I feel sometimes.

I would try the opposite, "medium" setting in the front and "soft" in the back. then if that doesn't do it go up on both.
