GEEZ!! I've never seen an S with that much body roll!
Think it's time to go to a real autocross setup, 225/245 with big front antiroll bar to keep that rear tire down

Yeah pic 3 REALLY has some body roll, looks like Steve took that corner a tad tight. Maybe it was the extra weight with D'Arcy on the pass side 
I think the Booty club needs another member

Does the pavement roll off there? If not something must be wrong...I run stock suspension with 225 up front (no sway bar) and I don't think I'm leaning that much...
Any who has seen any of my runs....did I lean that far????

that is some serious body roll.....but, if he's getting grip, i guess it doesn't matter.
maybe his shock or spring is worn.
even in the other picture of the black car (way down) body roll looks to be too excessive.
look at the silver one in comparison.

The 3 wheel pic is taken from very far away. Almost a 1/3 of the parking lot, which is wavy. That area is where I'm turning is essentially flat. My car's stock shocks are still OK. It was the 3rd run in the run group, so the tires probably had some heat in them.
Don (silver S2000) has less lean because he's on street tires, but it is still a lot of lean.
That turn was 90 degrees and I was seriously dive bombing the turn entrance and pivoting while trail braking. Now that I think about it, the wheel lift and loss of drive probably helped me rotate around the corner, even if it was probably slower.
The Toronto "Buddy Club" scares me. It must be a big city thing. Probably another year, but it'll be JRZ's for me.
