Recently I have been Autocrossing a lot. Its been a ton of fun, but my suspension is pretty soft since its stock. I get plenty of body roll, which is expected, but I want to know how much body roll is typical for a stock 88 Si? The only thing I've added to my car are a set of 15x7 Enkei RPF1's with 205/50R15 Potenza RE-11A Tires.
Here is an example of some body roll I experienced while tackling a 180°turn.
Does any one else who races with a stock suspension get body roll similar to this? Does that seem excessive to you?
The reason I'm asking is because I have gotten a few comments about how much my car rolls during racing. Since I've never seen my car on the track, I decided to put together a g-force/Angle sensor to take some measurements. I mounted the sensor just in front of the hand brake. I figured its a pretty flat spot, and sorta close to the center of the car.
Any way the sensor reported that the max amount of nose dip I got was -40°, and the maximum roll angle I got was 56°. Both those values seem a bit ridiculous to me. You can see for your self in my video.
I'm certain the sensor was reading accurately. I did plenty of testing with it before and after the race. I'm also pretty sure the sensor didn't come loose during the race. Do you think it is really possible my CRX has that much body roll?
