How to reduce swaying & rolling of car?

I drive a 2008 hatchback with 16" wheels. When I plop down in the driver's seat I feel the car move a little - like a boat. This rolling is also noticeable when I brake firmly on the road. How can I "stiffen" the car?

    bring it back to the dealership. if you are having noticable handling difficulties with a car this new, it should be looked at.

    There are a couple of things you can do. I'm assuming this cae has coils on all 4 corners. You can get a stiffer coil and you can also upgrade the shocks. It sounds to me like your shocks need to be replaced. If you can push the car dup and down real easily, then it is time for new shocks.

    upgrade the suspension or lose weight. This sounds like what I see when really fat people get in their cars.

    The best thing and the cheapest is to install heavy duty shocks. The quality and price is up to you.
