Reducing body roll - without lowering

[sailaholic]

By your intended use and future use, don't waste your money on sway bars. Put the same money into a good shock / spring combo (MCA blue would be my recommendation) yes, it's way more expensive but you'll end up needing to replace the stock shocks and springs anyway. Coilovers are very price competitive to a shock / spring combo these day.

Once you do go new coil overs the bandaid of the sway bars will not be needed and will only reduced grip and comfort.

Stock ride height won't be a problem, just wind the spring preload in until you get stock ride height

Watching the Mexico F1 qualifying and the lack of suspension movement when they go over the ripple strips is amazing. However it looks like all the vibration is transferred through to the driver

I spent a bunch of time researching shocks that improve handling without sacrificing ride comfort for daily driving. In the US Tokico Illuminas are a popular stock shock replacement. However they are no longer made so it's difficult to get them, plus you're dealing with the US and all the hassles that come with that (shipping, tax, customs, wait time etc). Links anyway, FYI

I ended up paying maybe double (~$2k) and got MCA X-C coilovers. Can adjust it to 'stiff' (in my opinion) or soft depending on what I'm doing (as I did today, actually). Still waiting on wider wheels, new tyres, and alignment before I can really test them out, but quite happy so far. You would have to preload these quite heavily though to achieve stock height. If you could even get there. They are very low out of the box.

The tyre wall supplies pretty much all the movement in suspension in F1, hence one of the reasons they still use 13 inch diameter wheels. The suspension is developed around the movement in the tyres.
