I hadn't realized the 8 had so much body roll when seeing it from the outside...

I believe stock the RX-8 pulls at best 0.89g. Not bad, but there's still a great deal of body roll. I drifted around a bend on the road near my house, and it was insanely scary. The body roll was prevalent, and that's what made the experience so much more cringing.

I was going to say the same thing.

On my two test drives I didn't notice that much body roll (but that doesn't mean it wasn't there).

How much would aftermarket springs help?
