Hi all!

I have an '83 300D and would not mind reducing body roll. I know its not supposed to be a "sports car", but I can't reach the monkey bar above the passenger window when making right turns, so I would like to know what other options there are.
I thought about new non-rubber bushings for sway bars, but I don't think it'll do that much. I have stock size 195/70/14 's

thanks for your time!
-Larry

Body roll comes from lack of damping of the shocks & very "soft springs". Also body weight is high. Lowering of car will help as well as heavy duty shocks such as "Koni" or "Bilstein". Bushing are the last item to change.
