Noob Suspension Question - Sorry Guys

Noob Suspension Question - Sorry Guys

Postby jmcale01 » Wed Apr 01, 2009 3:00 pm

One of the things that I have always disliked about my 2000 SLE V6 is how much the body rolls on curves...even light curves. Granted the car has 134K miles on it, and the suspension is pretty soft as it is...but I was wondering what would be the best resolution to the body roll issue? Would stiffer shocks help? Can I do it without lowering springs (I don't want to be constantly avoiding speed bumps)? Sway Bars?

I know this is a noob question...but if you guys could help me out with some ideas I would appreciate it!

Toy1mzfe, you're riding on coilovers though right? I bet your ride is pretty dang stiff already. With the TRD RSB, I bet one wheel might lift during tight cornering... :D

Strut Tower Braces (TRD)....do they make that much of a difference?

No, just save your money and get strut/spring or coilover.

With that mileage you may not have any sway bar bushings left.
If true (they decay from mileage, heat, ozone, oil and UV) simply replacing them with new originals or polyurethane will help a lot at minimal expense.

In some cars re-locating the wheel link closer to the shaft stiffens the rate.
