If you want to lower the roll angle, then you want to either get stiffer springs or stiffer anti-roll bars (or crappier tires).

Lowering your car with lowering springs (which according to what i've seen have basically the same to lower springs rates than stock), will increase your roll angle.

I'm guessing you should probably go the anti-roll bar route.

best set up are swift spec r springs and d specs,
for the price.

That set up out performance any coil over under 2500 bucks

if you want any true performance you better be willing to spend over 2500.

all that stance, bc etc are all just for looks, no fast track guys run those.

If you want the best performing coilovers you are going to have to spend a good amount of money, but you can still get decent performance out of the more affordable options. I'd look into Stance coilovers.

I'm guessing that since OP doesn't know a lot about which brands/types of suspension to run he won't be tracking his car much. No sense in him spending $2,500 on suspension like that. Springs are a good bet though for what he's looking for, especially when paired up with good shocks, but the lack of height adjustability haha.
