Rock-N-Roll

I know everyone is going to tell me to search before posting but here it goes anyway...

Will aftermarket lowering springs keep my car from rocking back and forth each time I get on the gas or shift at high rpms? it is really annoying.. any help would be great, thanks.

p.s. ditto on the MASSIVE body roll... thanks again

yes to a point. a rollbar will help eliminate the side to side movement. the springs/strut will help with the Squat/dive.

springs will keep the car straight, but you need very tiff springs to do that.
to keep the car's body roll you need sway bars, very thick ones.

i have intrax springs, and they are 247lb in the front, 97-257lb in the back. they are soft but they a little more stiff than stock.
plus i have LXI sway bars in the front and back with polyurethane bushings and my car has very little body roll.

sounds like your rocking problem is due to blown shocks, not springs.

so for starters i should just replace my old swaybar endlinks, and purchase new struts? any other bushings i might need?

instead of starting a new thread... sometimes i get a wierd shutter/hop from my inside wheel when turning, i know its not a cv joint, it just feel like the wheel wants to rip loose and drive away... would new bushings help this?

Have you put the car on jack stands with the wheels off and gone over all the joints and bushings? New bushings may help, but only if you find that some of the old ones are torn, cracked or rotted.
