Your spring rates are not excessively high now, it certainly wouldn't hurt to try upping them and seeing how it does.

No, body roll is fine.. well, obviously since the car sticks.. but I do find it a bit disconcerting (just need to get use to it)
The only problem I'm having is that the suspension is so compliant that the car rolls enough to cause the front tires to contact the inner wheelhouse and the frame/header get awfuly close to the ground. A little less roll wouldn't be bad along with a redesign of the front wheel wells..
I have 550 springs for the front.. and 310s for the rear, would that make any difference or do I need to make a bigger change?
