Setup questions.

I have a 1988 IROC-Z, it has been lowered 2", subframe connectors, adj pan-hard rod, and adj. LCAs with LCA relocators.

In order to get less body roll and less understeer, what should I do to the roll bars? They are the stock sway bars. The body roll isn't a whole lot and I could live with it, but I would like to get rid of it a little bit more. It's not running on the track so it's not really a big deal, but I would like to handle a little bit better.

Start with poly endlinks and bushings. If you dont see the improvement you disire maybe upgrade to the 36/24 combo.

What are the spring rates on those intrax springs? what struts are you using?

I was thinking of the 36/24 combo, but I was afraid that the rear would be to stiff with the solid 24 and cause greater understeer. The shocks and struts are KYB cheap series. The owner before me put them on, but I am looking at Koni yellows.

I don't remember the spring rates, I just remember they were pretty dang high, they are progressive front and rear so they have a little give in the begining of the turn, so that maybe where I am having that feeling.

I will try the poly sets for the sway bars first and see what happens. Thanks.
