Huh?Lowering springs put you closer to stock bumps, but coilovers if they have even bumps are dependent on their design and throw.

Hitting bump stops in any configuration is going to cause drastic near instantaneous understeer.

The difference I was describing was related to spring rates of his prodrives vs. typically higher rates on coilovers in terms of roll resistance.
