Hey @TModelle, did you find any solution to reduce body roll? As a new C43 AMG owner I am too slightly surprised / disappointed of how much it rolls. For me there's big gap between the performance it offers and the handing, it just doesn't encourage you and doesn't offer enough confidence to attack corners as it should, and my guess is that's because of excessive body roll. It would be great if you could share your experience, if you were able to find any solutions for this. Thanks!

this does not reduce body at all , it merely stiffens the chassis which helps the suspension have more precise control over wheel travel and sharpen steering response ( depending on location of the brace)Originally Posted by Howyalivin

The car already has 2x upper struct braces well.
there are lower ones available aftermarket.

Can this car rollover if you take a corner too fast? Or does all the safety features kick in?

And compared to similar cars, it does not roll that much.
I was able to pass a Mk3 Focus RS, C63 w204, E92 M3 and Lotus 211R with stock suspension , and tyres adjusted to correct pressures.
