Hi,

I have done some suspension mods but I still feel that it is not what I wanted. My mods are listed in my signature.

My problem is that I feel that car is so heavy and have still much bodyroll in corners. I set my sway bars to second hole.

What do you suggest? I don't want to waste money on some mods which won't help me.

My brother have stock 335i cabrio which is even heavier than my ss. It stick to the ground like glue and have no bodyroll in corners.

Thanks.

Try adjusting the sway bars. Coil overs will help also. Lower the center of gravity, higher spring rate, and adjustable dampening will all help fight body roll.

Adjust the sway bars to inner most our outer most hole? Both front and rear? Experiencing similar

The next modification should be springs or coil overs if they're in the budget. How many miles do you have on your Camaro? The other thing to consider is the alignment as it plays a large roll in the overall feel and responsiveness.

What are your current modifications and what tire/wheel combo?

Kind regards,

Is the Body Roll side to side or is going front to rear under acceleration & braking?

Is your car lowered? I didn't see that in your signature

I have 21000 miles on my car. I have a stock alignment.

I mean body roll from side to side. From front to rear too but not too much.
I'm not lowered. I'm afraid of the springs. Don't want the harsh ride. The only coilovers I can afford now are BC coilovers. Would they help with my problem or it is the wasted money?
