surely a williams can be marginally improved for road use, at a cost, in terms of money and usability. on another note, body roll doesnt mean the car grips less. body roll can worsen the turn in, but can ultimately lead to overall better performances. remember, you will lose a lot of time when the car get unsettled by that pothole.

yes mate i see wot ur saying.............but when reno introduced the williams the testing crew gave their verdicts on how it handled etc, and it was, i take it, an average set up for all its test drivers, some may have wanted it a bit stiffer etc but we werent there an i dont know anyone who was so i cant say for surewot i can say tho is that on the old original set up it leaned quite a lot in the corners,which always un-nerves me i dont know bout anyone else, so the logical thing to do (after one of the springs broke) was to upgrade slightly to a more adjustable setup, seeing as tho i like to have more than 1 setup cos i use it for more than 1 thing,while doin this it also got rid of a lot of the lean thru the corners and felt safer at higher speeds........u know the kinda corners, the 1s you know how fast u can take while still being in control,and my favourite corner is taken a good 5-10 mph faster now than standard.i admit it has made it a little more unsettled on the really bumpy roads, but i tend not to drive a lot of them.when i had both of my williams it was always the least standard car i drove, why? cos i prefer how it drives/handles, it suits me more than standard set up............all imoi think to really prove 1 way or the other u need to experiment ........which is what ive done and i have benefitted from it. but again this is all down to my personal preferance.........i dunno maybe its jus me gettin more used to it or wot, but when iv found the limits a few times i want to upgrade and test again for the limits.which is why iv also altered the fantastic engine...........simply because it felt slow..................which as most ppl on this forum know, it aint slow, but felt it to me cos im used to it
