Actually, the springs were free. Who can say no to free race parts? I wanted a car that could race at high speeds and feel like it was on rails. I added some really big sway bars next, that was all I needed. Didn't know anything about roll centers only that I didn't want any side to side sway at 100mph so I fixed it.
This all happened maybe 15 years ago, I had no idea what struts were before I bought the car. I'm from Detroit, we didn't drive imports there.
In 20 years I've filled my house with lots of race trophies so maybe it turned out ok for me, accidentally.
Question for you though? If I'm out of suspension travel and experience no sway what does "roll centers" mean in my car?
