how do make the roll center of the car higher?
and why the fuck do all coilover companies sell their kits with the front springs stiffer than the rear? fuckers

Making the roll center of the car higher is tough. It gets lower the more you lower the car. I'm not saying you shouldnt lower the car, but its a trade off. You need the front control arm to angle up more. BMW's and Porsche's have front struts like a 240sx, but they positioned the mounting points better. There is a product I think works by relocating the front ball joint lower down. I dont know much about it though, but it exists in Japan. In the rear you can buy an adjustable RLCA like SPLparts sells, but its $$ and the front is where the real problem is.
The higher spring rates in front is because the front has more tendancy towards roll due to the poorer geometry of the struts vs. multilink. You do want the front stiffer than the back, I think its just better to do it via sway bars than springs. The sway bar acts progressively the more you roll, so when iniating a turn, the back is stiffer compared to the front and it doesnt understeer as much.
