You want to see bodyroll, try putting R-compound tires on a car with stock suspension. My car rolls a lot more than yours, but sticks oh so good...

Yes this is true. That is why a car setup for autocross (stiff) might not be well-suited for high-speed open track. Glad you understood...sometimes I'm not very clear LOL

So true. I thought my sway bars took care of body roll until I saw my car roll with 245/45-17 and 275/40-17 Hoosier LOL. We were sticking very well, just hated seeing my shock boot covers under the fender wells (side where wheels were in "jounce") LOL

I'll be putting on some intermediate Pirelli race rubber (much like the Dunlop R shown in page 2) later this year and see how it goes. But I need to buy some new 17" for the street first.

Hey Cossie, swap those springs and you'll be turning a new lap record at the track
