Though springs "might" help out a bit, they're not nearly as effective as coilovers.

You might do a search (though I'm not sure what you'd use for the search text). I know I've seen a post that stated that krazik has reached some insane lateral G loading in his track prepped S2000. Of course, his car weighs approximately 2400 lbs, he has a true race suspension, some insanely wide tires (I think his rear tires are the equivalent of 305 or 315 series tires, and they are racing slicks, not street tires, and not your normal R-compounds), and a functional rear wing for additional downforce at speed.
I think he had an accelerometer in the car and generated something like 1.5 or 2 lateral Gs... maybe more, I can't remember now.
