body roll on 4th gens

no suspension mods on my car, and neither do my friends who have Irocs. there cars dont seem to lean as much in corners. my car can handle some good corners with all the stock suspension and the 275s but it really leans. i have a bigger sway bar from an Iroc that im gonna put on but does anyone have any oppinions or thought on this...thanks

Re: body roll on 4th gens

I dont think the IROC bar will work... the front suspension designs are different...

I think most people would reccomend you try a 35mm front sway.

Off topic, but what color is your car? is there an exact name for it? Looks sharp as hell and the berger panel just sets it off even better.

Talk with Sam Strano at stranopart.com. He's a F-Body suspension expert and can recommend a combination for your style of driving. Sam will take the time to explain how things work whether you choose to buy from him or not. I'm running Sam's 35 mm hollow front bar and the 1LE (21 mm) rear bar on my lowered (Eibach sport springs) 4th Gen.

Re: body roll on 4th gens

i dont want a road race car, i actually plan more on running at the strip. i want to lower the front a little bit for a better stance up front and i want to stop the body roll. other than that i just want LCA's and brackets for better traction.

FSTENUF- im not sure what color it is. the guy i bought it from tried calling the paintshop or somethign because he couldnt remember either but the guy never got in touch with him so idk now. i really wish i knew what it was called but i dont. car used to be black.

Re: body roll on 4th gens

If you want to reduce body roll on launch at the strip, the quickest/cheapest solution is an airbag in the right rear spring. Or, vendors like Spohn make a "drag race" rear sway bar that will also eliminate body roll on launch, but its so stiff (1 5/16" solid heat treated spring grade 4140 chrome moly) that it would likely have an adverse affect on overall handling on the street.

Re: body roll on 4th gens

35mm front swaybar
21mm rear swaybar

You will LOVE it. It's what I have with stock springs, and I have almost zero body roll even on hard corners. It's very well balanced. You can see pictures of the swaybars on my website.
