Default Body roll, and suspension

Bottom line is, i want to get rid of the whole body roll feeling i get around corners, after i drove my freinds bmw i've began to notice it more.

i've already done all urathane bushings in the front end, but now im looking to go farther

I've read up on and looked around, and have heard people talk about puting an s4 swar bar on. And i've looked into buying some bilstiens, but wanted to know if anyone had and personal prefrences or words of wisdom for me.

thanks

Bilsteins will help to a degree, especially if combined with either coilovers or static, lowered/stiffened springs, but for body roll overall, you'll get more results from sway bars than anything else. Since they're what is designed to keep the car from flopping around through turns, getting larger diameter bars will make more difference in your car's handling than anything else will. For the "real deal" do it all - you've done the bushings, so add the sways, coilovers with aftermarket struts, and (if you don't have them already), larger wheels with wider, lower tires. Lower sidewalls are stiffer by design, and won't flex as much, so you'll get less "roll" out of the tires as well as sharper reflexes.
