Changing the roll center of a suspension

[Nizam Zambri <nizam@domain.elided>]

Hi guys,

There has been lots of talk lately about shocks, and springs.  Zamani 
also brought up drop spindles and upside-down balljoints.

What we are really trying to do is to move the roll center further down 
in a chassis.  Has anyone thought about the back end of the GTV6/75 
chassis?  What would the effects be - assuming it is possible - if one 
could lower the roll center of the rear suspension?  (this by the way, 
is different than lowering the car via shorter springs etc).

I had a brief conversation with Larry at APE and he didn't think this 
was a good idea.  However, I'll keep his reasoning for later because I'd 
like to hear what the forum has to say on the subject.

I for one, think that a low roll center will make the chassis more 
stable in transitions which could equate to more confidence-inspiring 
posture around corners.  But some of you may think differently.  What 
say you?
