That's cool, I'm just being verbose about definitions for those that might not be up to speed on all this. :D

I'd encourage you to continue being verbose...you obviously have a great wealth of knowledge and the ability and patience to explain things! When I look at my post #5 in this thread, I make specific recommendations, but did not provide *any* proof of why I recommended what I did. You provided explanations and diagrams that let everyone visualize the specific effects.

So you want to raise the roll center in the front and lower it in the rear?

On a lowered car, you'd need to raise the roll center, but my understanding is that the rule of thumb is to keep the rear roll center higher than the front. Steve will probably explain this better! :)

Using a car with P springs as an example, I'd only raise the front. The rear I would leave as it should have lowered with the springs. You wouldn't have much control over rear roll center anyway, without an adjustable watts link or relocating the PHB.
