Default Body roll/Oversteer

I own a 2004 sti running about 340/330 but feel when going into corners or just generally speeding round a dual carrigeway bend, that the car seems to have more body roll than what I would have expected.

I already have BC Coilovers and Proxy Toyo P1's tyres with good thread and have had 4 wheel alignment done.

Has anyone else felt this from a similiar shape/setup?

And if so what do people recommend to remove the oversteer, or atleast minimise it.

Thanks.

Whoops, sorry, some of the info i needed was in this post. Just need your alignment, tyre pressures, ride height. Wait, is the number you posted above your ride height or spring rate?

Ignore this thread, we'll discuss in the other one. I had 4 wheel alignment done about 6 months back so will post a copy of this for you to see.

Body roll in general usually induces understeer rather than oversteer. ??

You may have reduced your roll centre too much with the BC's, may want to get Ball joint extenders. See thread below:
