Well said Junglejustice. That's what I've been trying to tell people. Control body roll and the spindles don't do anything.

I had the "Larry" suspension with spindles, Koni reds, and sparco springs and it sucked big time! I also drove Junglejustices Verde before he went RS Racing and it understeered like a pig with Shankle and Koni yellows.
