That wasn't body roll, this is body roll:

No idea if it happened on course or before we got there.

What are we looking at? Is something broken or is it a leaking strut?

Given dry pavement, and the higher C-of-G in the Focus, it would have even more body roll than a stock NC Miata I'm sure.

That would be fun, but I must resist the urge to modify this car much more, it is my DD and I have the vette for autocross. I assume someday I will go to an autocross and it won't rain. Plus I have the Cobra now I want to play with. I think if the weather looks like it did this Sunday again though for an autocross at NCCAR or Crown, I'll just drive the NC up as it is, it would have to be more fun and faster.

I'm not sure that's possible, if you had more body roll in the Focus than I have in that picture I think it would roll over.

Don't make me dig up a picture of the GTO mid-turn.

Ahh, the focus has those long ass BMW-style front endlinks. I still don't get why they'd put the endlink on the strut and not the LCA.
