Default K sport question

so i just bought a set of the basic K sport coilovers for my dc2. so they are put on and we pre-loaded the springs everything is well. they are nice. i paid 700 for them... now i understand that they are the basic model coilovers, but they seem a bit better than stock but not as tight as i expected. i was looking for more of a stiffer ride. and ive been hearing that the k sports have adjustable spring rates. i didnt know if that would help or what? but they are also 36 way adjustable and i tried them on full stiff and it still isnt that tight and there is a little body roll in them. ..... help

If you want to get rid of body roll, use thicker sway bars underneath. You shouldn't be using your suspension to get rid of all your body roll.

correct sir, a good suspension setup can do only so much.
