A lowered McPherson strut car will see the roll center move further *downward*, which will act to negate some amount of the benefits of lowering, more so than with double-wishbones.
yeah, yeah, i meant a lower distance from cog to roll center. i hate when whats in my head and what i write arent the same thing. id rather not spend time proof reading internet posts at the expense of sounding dumb. i guess if i really cared i could show one of the dozen posts ive made about it in other threads but i dont. thanks for clarifying though :happy0180: ps thats not sarcastic or anything.
