I would say put each one in and try it out, that is how I learn what a car does.

Yes a higher rollcenter gives the car less roll, but when you are on a sticky track you want the car to roll a little so the car reacts a bit slower. When the car reacts fast on a high grip track, you end up Throwing the weight instead of transfering the weight slowly and progressively.Try to controll roll with the Swaybars.

Last year I went to the Nats in Ohio, I was traction rolling. I asked Josh C. what to do and he said lighten up on the springs and oil to slow the reaction down. It worked great!
Ai Ai Sir !! Yess Sir, I'm a Mugen Pilot !!!

Okay, I'll change from B to C block to get less body roll.
