hello~ I just installed ST coil on my B7 a4 F24.75 R25 drop with 235/40/18 x 8.5 all around. I love the ride but I feel more body roll when I make a turn than my old set up.
The old set up, I only had neuspeed spring with stock s-line shock. I don't quiet remember but the rims were wider with 19" with 245 size. Is it because I had bigger tires and lowered than new set up?

Typically its the sway bars that limit body roll but since you changed your setup from a coil spring drop to coilovers, my guess is the spring rate difference between the two are causing you to feel more body roll.

Put more air in your tires?

Yeah the older combo you had had stiffer spring rate's I believe. The St's feel stiffer at normal forward driving because of the different dampening, however the spring's are softer for sure. When I first installed my ST's at max height they were very soft and if anything felt looser than stock ride height. Once lowered it significantly lowered body roll, and stiffness from stock. I do plan on swapping out the ST's stock spring's for stiffer ones or just a better set of coils if it comes around at the right time since I'm planning on going the stance route with my car and really don't want to kill the fenders once doing the whole stretch/poke business.

I'm planning to get H-sport F/R sway. Hope this solve the problem.
