Ok, even though the celi has the front strut brace, how sturdy is it really?? My car still has MASSIVE body roll, more than I think it should have w/ a front strut brace. Anything I can to to cure this, like an ???upgraded??? front sway bar?

Springs and struts are what controls body roll, the sway bar is more of an assist to them.

if you gotta alot of body roll 90% likely your struts are blown. handling on the factory springs is decent, so if it's bad it's struts. Bryan is right. replace your struts & then see how it handles. Whiteline does make sway bars for our cars, & they are about 40% bigger & 60% stiffer than the factory bars plus they have polyurethane bushings.

your stock springs might be bad to my car had terrible body roll when i got it but thats becuz the jackass who owned it ran it for like 4 years with bad struts and thrashed the springs.

ok this may be stupid but what is the point of plyurethane bushings. what do they do? Hey, new member. Welcome aboard man. The plyurethane bushings make the bushing's VERY stiff. It helps to stiffen up the suspension and tighten up the cars handling.

also polyurethane bushing will almost never crack, whereas rubber ones crack & deteriorate in no time.

take out the bushing and put a hemi joint no dont do that, i think that will make the ride so bad you will have to pee once every 2 blocks.

dude, you roll because your struts are blown. If you can push down on your front bumper and it bouces more than twice - you need new ones. I checked out your car and like people kick the tires I pushed down on your bumper ~ dude it was dribbling like a basket ball.
