Default Rear body roll

Just curious what other people think of the handling and in particular whether the rear has a bit too much roll with quick direction changes?

I am running standard pressures on PS2s (will change to PSS soon), but just wondered if others thought the same and what they had done about it?

BTW, this is fast A and B road driving and not the track.

Thanks

I took my SG car in for an MOT recently and one of the rear springs had sheared, a common problem apparently. Just a thought??

edit: DOH, just realised it's in the 1M section. Ignore me :-(

It'll be your geometry set up..
Get a decent corner weight and geo set up done with more rear toe and and more camber up front than the oem set up.
I also find michelin tyres dont suit the lbft or short wheel base of the 1M- cups are great on the csl as are pss and pilot sports. ive tried all those tyres on my 1M and csl (some times back to back). I find 255 35 19 up front and 275 30 19 at the rear are a better size.
I'm currently running federal evo's for track and summer use at 28psi (on road)
They are awful in the wet but better than the Michellins in the dry ( cheaper too) and they last longer.
I run 255 35 19 and 295 30 19 on winter tyres for when the temps drop.

Hope that helps.

still find it tail happy tho- as can be seen here

Thanks for your replies.

I will get the geo checked in the next few weeks and see what it is.
