Default How to cut down on body roll - not scoob specific

Guys,

What measures can I take to cut down on a bit of body roll on my golf.

Don't really want to go coilovers or shocks/springs. I think just tightening everything up would do.

So I'm guessing uprating bushes, roll bars and possible lowering springs could be a start.

What are the general rules on suspension mods.

Body roll?

Stiff end links (aka drop links) and a slighty thicker rear bar....should give you the desired effect.

No need to go overboard to make cornering flatter.

Must be the torque split that makes them more front biased.

Stu main reason for the post was for Dazza to post up the ask ives thing

But in all seriousness, I have been looking at that eibach kit myself, or it has been suggested the set up from an R32, think I will go for that see what difference that makes then look at other stuff later on.
