left to right body roll

do you guys notice a "left to right, right to left" type of body roll feel? rather than the front to back and back to front body roll?

the roll type seems very short in movement but "cushiony", it never goes beyond a certain point and maintains balance when making tight turns...but the "roll" is still apparent.

Can't say that I have noticed the roll you are talking about. I had my car on some nice back roads with a few twisties in North Carolina the last couple of days. The car stayed quite planted for a 4-door sedan. The fact that I have the Sport Package may have helped some though.

I have a non-sport SV, and yeah, there's some body roll when you really push it, but not so much roll that i feel like my head is touching the B-pillar. For a front engine, FWD sedan it handles quite well IMO.

Well, about the roll, if you don't have a RSB, buy one and see your car's roll "disappear"! And your car's stability becomes like that of a "formula-1" race-car! My car handles s-bends as if it was a straight stretch of road. Curves I used to take on 70 and feel the roll and know I can't go any faster, now, I can go 75 to even 80 and still feel like I can push it some more, lol. But be careful, if you choose to push it, lol!

I got the premium and I had some body roll and I installed the stolen RSB and there's a whole lot difference before I could only go 65-70 on a turn now I can do but dnt try to much 75-85/90. Maybe since I got lowering springs and FSTB helps
