    Yeah, ultra racing stiffening braces and stiff springs help to combat all that body roll.

    Haha! That's the best demo of body roll I've seen so far. That's pretty extreme.

    Mitsu, what were you thinking?

    I take it you're in on the rear sway bar order? I hope you'll do an "after" video for comparison.

    Once I have the money! I gotta pay off what I owe people before moving on to buying things.

    Also, metro: Cheap. Mitsubishi was thinking cheap. Developing countries with rough roads need smooth rides. Just use one suspension setup that will suit MOST peoples' needs instead of developing two. Less parts to create.

    I agree. I can see the Mirage doing well in developing countries rough roads. In fact, the car probably glides through those potholes.

    I love how the Mirage glides through uneven stony roads here in Europe. Compared to my Galant (on sport suspension) it's like riding flying carpet! It's a city car!! I don't experience body roll on corners which I took at 20 km/hour!! It's how you drive which decide the comfort of your passengers.
