Im getting a lot of body roll on the track but decent grip, and neutral balance with my square ZII tire setup and alignment specs.

Thought about dampers only, but cant help but wonder whether coilovers would be better at all tasks (bumpy streets, tracks). Looking for better absorption of bumps, less body roll during braking, turning, and accelerating.

Im not the kind to constantly tinker with the suspension though. I prefer to set it and forget it. I think dual adjustments would make me go crazy ...

Last but not least. I want these to last and be corrosion resistant (our winters here are rough, and we see a lot of sand and salt on our roads).
