the closer the roll center is to the center of gravity, the less roll there is. im not really talking about changing components or anything, im talking about the inherent nature of the cars. the closer those two things are, the less static camber you need and the more optimal the contact patch shape. its even more important for cars with mac struts because toe and camber are not separable.
