[QUOTE="Jack Hidley, post: 16030755, member: 17703"] The roll center height in the rear doesn't really affect the steady state handling balance. It almost entirely affects the transient handling balance. It does this because it changes the rate at which lateral weight transfer happens across the rear tires. The higher up the RC is (closer to the CG, so creates a smaller roll couple), the faster the weight transfer occurs. This makes the slip angle in the rear tires of the car develop more quickly, so the car will be looser on turn in. Once the lateral weight transfer has stabilized, the car's handling balance will be the same. If the RC is lowered, then the weight transfers across the rear tires more slowly. This makes the car understeer more on turn in. [/QUOTE]
