Ev0lutionz Clutched March 24, 2012 Share March 24, 2012 Guys, how to reduce bodyroll? What to install? Went to track and when i turned, my hand also had to hold on to my handbrake to support my body as the car was rolling with the turn? Is it bodyroll? And are there legal slick tyres for the track? Driving a swift sports that belongs to a friend though. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise, there is room for much more knowledge about it. Take care. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually keen to make their car more dangerous? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change the whole car.... Don't waste time n $ change this n that. No point. His SweetPork is not bad in corners as a stock car, maybe his driving is agressive in corners? Changing to performance socks n springs, re-set his cambers, tyre pressues, full bucket seat, etc can help..... Taking a smoother line also help...

If our car corners too flat ie no rolls to 'warn' us that we are going too fast in the turn, when it snaps, it will be a sudden surprise too late for us to handle sometimes!!

Macrosszero Turbocharged March 25, 2012 Share March 25, 2012 Actually its better that the TS goes to a track to discover what he doesn't know. I encourage anyone who has an interest to learn about car handling and characteristics to bring it to a track at least once, regardless of what car it is. Its just to learn more about your car and know its limits, while doing it in a safe environment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vhtfhwlego Supercharged March 25, 2012 Share March 25, 2012 To solve body roll in a go kart, reduce body weight. Likewise for a car. Remove the driver. [:p] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However lowering springs alone can make your ride harsh and your damper to wear out faster. The coilovers as a system are meant to work together do they should give you better handling results. An ARB or anti-roll bar will also help and is usually mod as an upgrade to the stock ones. A bucket seat will probably help to keep your body in the seat while your car experience body roll. A wider set of tyres, will help traction but not that much for body roll if your CG is still high. Probably a Swift Sport forum can help you more on what to mod first. It is always better to do 1 thing at a time do you can feel the difference. Just have fun on track and enjoy the experience of the mods. Cheers!

There still has to be some form of roll in a car. Too rigid a car might be dangerous for driver and passengers and other road users. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much safer and cheaper than have the car warp around a lamppost/ tree ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
