Anyone know any cheap or free ways to decrease body roll on a k11 facelift micra I feel like I'm going to tip round some corners :L

I'm new to all this stuff so your guna have to explain in more detail sorry :/ anti roll bars are they the same as lower strut braces?

they limit how much the wheel "droops/drops" from its static resting point, kinda similar to shortening the dampers.
when turning, the body tilts/rolls over and raises the inner side of the chassis.
the loaded side hunkers down while the inner wheels position droops/drops relative to the chassis until it hits the dampers droop end stop.
with droop limiters, when the inside wheel droops and hits the limiter, the chassis can't rise up anymore.
the tilting force on the body would have to overcome all the corner weight of the car before the inside wheels lift.
the loaded side can still be compressed.
suspension is complicated
swaybars link both suspension sides via a torsion bar to reduce roll
braces strengthen/stabilises suspension mounting points to maintain consistent suspension geometry

Cheers guys il get some stiffer springs and some drop links

+1Despite fitting anti roll bars you'll find that the car will still roll in its usual manner.
The only cure for this is stiffer springs
As more weight is required to compress them
Anti roll bars merely limit the amount of roll
a/r/b,s just induce inside wheel lift imo, if the inside wheel weighed 1 ton then it would hinder the bodyroll (but it does,nt weigh 1 ton)
