There's quite a lot of body roll - I'm going to have to put the stiff spring set back in.

Why is body roll bad? Running out of camber?

Shitty transitional response. Camber is also an issue.

Wouldn't it still be negative until the moment where the car loses traction and goes airborne? With all the weight of the car on the right wheels, I'd think there's be even more negative camber.

And Ed, don't give me any of that worthless crap about how that particular DW suspension is set up. DWs have far greater potential than struts, but only if they're set up to take advantage of it.
