hey all, as the title says..

I don't like how much body roll i get in my falcon.. i want it to sit nice and flat around corners and not feel like a boat so to say..

so question is will getting a super/ultra combo decrease the body roll at all? or is it just purely for looks?

Cheers.

Nath.

If you want get a package with lowering springs, shortened shock absorbers and thicker swaybars.

EDIT: oh yea and also camber kit and put new bushes while its all apart.
and this will probably cost abit of money but the results speak for themselves!

Actually if you put in just low springs with stock shocks you get worse bodyroll and worse handling due to shocks not getting proper travel

You need to go a shocks+springs package, and then if you're more serious also go swaybars
