anyways, that brings up new thing, suspension, if lowering the suspension doesn't increase g-force, is the only point to avoid body roll? and what does stiffness do to the car anyways? cuz that seems like it would affect only bodyroll also.
If you're going to be doing any sort of performance driving, you should pick up a nice book on the ins and outs of suspension (check out Carroll Smith's Drive to Win and Tune to Win. They're good and cheap). It's really pretty easy to learn the basics of and fun to experiment with once you know the basics, but in order to learn everything really well you do need a good book (or ten) that explains it all in detail.

It's worth it though.
