No, you're on the right track (haha!). If you have camber under control then reducing roll will help you to balance the car better and it will also help a bit with camber so its all upside. Carry on!

I have the M030 bars, Bilstein B8, sticky tires, enhanced camber and... (drumroll) quite a lot of roll.. I´m looking into switching to öhlins r&t, that might fix it, however if I still get a lot of roll and want to stiffen up the roll bars, are there any "go to" combo between rear/front? I´m guessing a combo of GT3 & tarett-bars maybe? The car is really well balanced, just to "soft" given the great grip I have.

This is me loaded up for turn 5 at Roebling Road Raceway, here the car is on M030 USA suspension with Koni FSD struts and Maxxis RC-1 tires.

Tire wear was pretty good at all tracks I go to, with Roebling being the hardest on the front left tire. Shortly after this I went to GT3 front bar and Tarett rear bar which helped some, and then I ran a set of PSS9, but what helped the most was getting lots of front Camber (was at -3 here) and working on not overdriving/sliding the front when going through the big sweepers at Roebling.



On my Cayman I have the Ohlins Road and Track and Camber set to -3.25 in front and -3 in back, with only 4 dry days at 2 wet days, including 111 laps at Roebling, wear has been pretty good. I am really liking the R&T so far.
