This is why most of my focus has been on tube lube and side springs.

With that said, do you think a center spring change could help with chassis rub on the side edges as well? I don't think I am getting any rub from the car squatting or lifting during momentum changes; it just seems to have a lot of roll.
Lloyd, I figured you meant the sides where the pivots are, and probably dragging the side of the pod at the link mounting point as well. In order for either point to drag, the center spring has to compress a long way as the front roll is quite stiff. I think a stiffer center spring will help you out if you don't want to go to heavier side fluid and changing side springs didn't help.
