The reason I am fixated on the roll is the roll centers do not move well together front to rear. The short front control arms have the front roll center moving laterally 7" at 1 degree of roll, where the back moves only 1/2" because the control arms are longer. In "Tune to Win" Smith states he thought control of the roll centers was more important than maximizing the camber curves because it affects how the car rotates especially at turn in. The front shocks were valved for 350lb springs but I know there is some float there. I am going to run the heaviest spring I can up to 450 in the front. Then match the appropriate rear spring and have the rears valved for that. It is a place to start.
