Some pics of me auto crossing

http://www.nickcrovo.com/2013/0420_autox/index.php?sfpg=MzgzX2NvcnZldHRlLyoqYjJhM TRjODQ3ZjE4ZTlmMDE3N2U1YzVjZWRkNGNiY2M

seem to have more body roll despite stiffer springs

I'm wondering if I lowered it just enough to mess up the roll center

either that or the 1st of the dual rate springs isn't quite stiff enough

I put the Corvette Challenge springs in my '85. That helped a lot. Then I went to an adjustable sway bar in the rear. That also helped.

Here's my car at speed. What's interesting is that the Porsche behind me appears to have slightly more body roll than I have.

This one explains my oversteer issues.
I thought it was the stiff springs, but looks like I driving on three wheels!

got some good advice over here:

New springs vs old springs


Stance with the new springs.
Going to change it, just my 1st drive to get the suspension to settle.
