Thanks for the great thread so far.

I want to comment about the issue of roll centers. With McPherson strut front suspension, the front roll center is likely to be high which reduces front grip in cornering. In my own subjective feeling, I think the front roll center is too high at standard ride height. The front roll center will move lower during braking and if the ride height is lowered. I can't prove it with numbers, but I'd love to see a technical treatment or at least some opinions and discussion.
