Body roll(ways to get rid off)

When conering fast, I notice a good bit of body roll. What is the best way to eliminate this as much as possible without affecting the ride? I really don't want a stiff ride.

Is sways the best for this?

Please give me your thoughts and prices.

Thanks,
Juice

Sways are definitely the best thing here. You can get the Comptech ones from www.autocarparts.com for $300.

Comptech Sways is your answer... And then you would discover that you need better tires... You solve one problem just to discover another....

You would be happy with a comptech's with a nice set of 235/40/118 Utra High Performance (Summer) tires.

Sways I can see making a difference - but I've been on this board for 6-7 months now, and I keep hearing people rave about their springs. It seems to me that most springs "lower" the car - and at the same time offer a stiffer ride than stock. However, knowing a bit about suspension geometry, I realize that lowering a car and putting stiffer springs alone doesn't do an entire hell of a lot to the actual handling - just the "seat of the pants feel".

Well, as far as dip and bob, the springs reduce that. It also lowes the center of gravity for the car hence should somewhat reduce some body-roll. To really and readily reduce the body-roll, I'd have to go with getting the sways also.

Sways will definitely help but the best thing you can do is buy better tires.
