Ummm this thread is over 1 1/2 years old. You must love reading alot.
And next time when you debate something you need to give your reasons why. Just saying you are wrong makes you look silly and unknowledgeable about the subject.

I didn't do any mods to it except put some VictorRacers on the wheels.

You say roll rates are the only thing affect by spring rates... If the body rolls, weight has to be carried off of one side, and supported by the other. Damn, that sounds a lot like weight transfer to me!
The whole reason for stiffer springs to begin with isn't to increase how much weight a tire or side can "see" through weight transfer, it's to make it so the car is under a lot more corner speed, side loading, lateral force, etc, before the car's handling is upset. You're widening the threshold.
