The worst I had ever experienced, I mean I had never driven a car with a softer suspension and one with so much body roll; made my car which has a stock suspension, upper strut bar rear Si sway bar and 18" tires feel like a race car.
-What is the worst handling car or what car do you think has the softest suspension and handles worst?
Body roll is no indication of how well or poorly a car handles. Also Stiffer is NOT better, In fact almost the opposite. Read throught the suspension sticky at the top of the page as to why
