The roll centre is the axis at which the chassis rolls around.
The CoG is the point at which the mass acts.
The CoG will be above the roll centre, hence your car leans away from a crner as you turn, and it grip rolls.
You need to raise the roll centre, so 'leverage' the CoG exerts on the roll centre axis is less.
Raise the roll centre, and reduce chassis roll, by lowering the inside camber ball studs (removing the washers below the camber ball stud braces).
Someone that knows better should hopefully confirm this, as I am not fully versed in racing car dynamics, particularly suspension travel.
Rich, Northy, Jimmy, Dan, can anyone confirm I am offering the correct advice? I dont intend to be offering incorrect advice, but I'd like to have a check with the 'experts'.
