^ Yep.. Strano Springs and Koni Singles.. THe fronts may look like struts, but they're like a coil over.
Check one of the latest issue of GMHTP w/ the Strano Springs and Koni Single adjustable shocks. Good setup.

As do pretty much all springs. I'm one of the "not low" springs, and FWIW, we're pretty much between 1-1.2" on most cars. I don't think that .2" or so is really that noticeable. And I find that most folks kick out a number that's largely arbitrary, and often based on pictures of cars that have springs that are "supposedly" x.xx" drop.

try swapping to v6 struts up front and v6 springs/shocks in the back.
I did that to my car and it lowered it about 3/4-1"
it drastically reduced body roll and greatly increased weight transfer. So I hook better off the line, and my car handles better. and for all four corners, I paid $40 for everything off of a 10K mile car.
I had bilstein HD's on my car before and the difference is night and day.

Something is fishy here, and since you didn't just change the springs, but both the springs and shocks this isn't a valid argument. Softer springs will not decrease body roll. But shocks can and will slow the rate of it if they are better than what you had, and that is interpreted as just "less roll" all the time.
