Valve setup for air cylinders

Right now I have a front and back setup for cylinders however the bodyroll when cornering is crazy.I think a major issue with it is that there are only 4 valves and all 4 are in the trunk of the car.The valves are 3/8" with 1/2" copper line.I have been told that I need to run 8 valves and also to put the 4 valves for the front cylinders either under the front bumper or right next to the cylinders so there is less play when cornering.How do you guys have your setups ran and if I do this should I see a difference in cornering and body roll?

yes adding 4 more valves so you have individual control will make a difference in teh body roll but where you put them wont i have fbss set up in all in the trunck of my civic and it s good if tehres still too much roll for you get a better sway bar

So if I setup 4 more valves can I still wire it to my front and back switches and have it be as effective.For example I have 8 valves but 2 switches so I cant raise and lower each corner but I still have the valves in place just tee'ing them into the front and back switch.Thanks for the responses

YEAH MAN THE TEE IS WHAT CAUSES THE BODY ROLL. WHEN THE WEIGHT TRANSFERES TO ONE SIDE, IT CREATES MORE PRESSURE ON THAT CYLYNDER FORCING THE AIR IN IT TO TRANSFER OVER TO THE OTHER CYLYNDER THUS CAUSING BODY ROLL. TWO VALVES PER CYLYNDER WILL MAINTAIN A MUCH MORE CONSTANT PRESSURE AND THE ONLY CHANGES THAT HAVING THE VALVES UP CLOSER TO THE FRONT WILL BE INCREASED RESPONSE WHEN INFLATING.
