Ron, The car rolls quite a bit due to the soft (spec series) springs. Would stiffening the springs proportionally - front and rear- and keeping the same roll percentages reduce LCA angle changes (dynamic) and help prevent some of the roll center migration? I could turn it into a Go-cart if necessary. LOL. But the transition from on-the-wheels to on-the-lid might be a little more abrupt.
