I just saw this post.
The body roll is potentially a good thing if you are able to plan for it. Changing strut settings and being able to predict how the car will roll is good for unloading the rear end of the car. The SRT4 is pretty decent at un loading the rear tires with an abrupt lift or a tap on the brakes with the left foot while still on the throttle. The severe body roll allows the weight to transfer off the rear tires to allow the car to rotate.
I don’t mind body roll. It’s not always a bad thing. In awd or fwd cars, it sometimes will help in the corners that you need it most (90 degree + turns) as the turns like sweepers and slaloms you can just adjust the driver to make the car fast through those.
Of course, this mostly applies to stock classes as the SP and M classes really could benefit from chassis modifications and less flexibility in the car
