Body roll

I have a 1992 civic si HB and I have installed neuspeed race springs, my question is when I take hard turns I always get body roll, and also my rear springs always squeek, I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem ? Also I have a rear lower OBX tie bar, and also a front sway bar...

Any help would be apreciated..

thanx

Front and rear strut braces // Lower tie-bar // 7/8"or 24mm front and rear sway bars // springs & shocks // for basic
put you car on a diet - loose the rear seat
or better yet put a damn roll cage in it - don't think body roll will be a problem then

Have you been to a racing or driving school?

You can have super stiff race springs and you will get some body roll. If you get rid of all body roll then your car will be unbearable on the streets.

You can get ride of some body roll with front and rear sway bars, which will keep the body more level, but you have to becareful with subframe tearing.

I have springs which are 3x more stiff than stock and you can see at 60mph I still get body roll:

Nice pics, are you club racing in the first pic, CivicSi? :cool:

Anywho, gwako my suspension consists of an upper strut tower bar, rear sway bar, and rear lower tiebar, and a set of Tein Super Street coilovers. Even with that, I still get body roll, even when I set the Teins to the stiffest ride comfort adjustment. You'll almost never be able to completely eliminate body roll, laws of physics wouldn't allow for it for one. It's not about eliminating it anyways, it's about counter acting you car's tendancies to understeer, and trying to iron that as best you can, so the car feels balanced through high speed curves and turns.

That is my first HPDE (High Performance Driving Education). You need several to graduate from the racing/competition school for NASA.
