A bit of roll is no bad thing, the movement of the weight is what gives the car its handling tendencies. If its very flat you'll introduce a lot of understeer.

If its understeery at the moment due to it still handling safe and factory-like I would perhaps try fitting a rear one first see where that gets you.

Depends how you like it to drive as well.

And just for the record it was on a track day before people begin to moan about me driving in such a way for this kind of bodyroll.

How did it feel to drive?

I'm guessing understeer? Can be solved without throwing too much money at it.

Felt alrite realy did feel like there was abit to much roll and if i took the correct line through the bend i could actually get it to oversteer (which almost caught me out one lap:lol

Will be getting fully adjustable coilovers and poly bushes all round once iv cleared my little spending spree off on my credit card

nope i took it off cause i was lifting the front wheel off the ground going round corners with it on, since taking it off i have found i get a lot better traction on twisties, had thought about putting it back on now that im driving it a lot more sensibly though quite a few people as far as im aware run without one
