as u may of read im bk off to germany..
I got around a 650 mile drive to do and really dont like the bodyroll on my car..
what drop on springs would u consider? for a 'smoothish' ride there but without the body roll, she sits nicely at around 80 - 90mph wen u touch over 100mph she seems abit sway'ey which i really dont like! then i hit jus past 120mph (off the clock) and she was fragile so i let off
Oh she will be running on 15' alloys with 195/45 tyres
and ill have abit of lugage and 2 tool boxes which ill even the weight over the car for better handling..

i had the same floaty feelin at high speeds. i just put on some tein springs this weekend, and they are amazing for a set of springs.
it loves to acccelerate round corners, even at 120mph. and u only get a bit of body roll if ur going slow.

the only things that catch on speed bumps on mine are the mud flaps
and my exhaust (i have a race can of a bike on ther)
