Default Suspension question

I have Neuspeed springs, and when I do "spirited" driving thru the canyons, i start rubbing my tires on turns becuz of slight body roll. There isnt really much space between the fenders and the tires, with 18VolkGT-N, SO3 and Neuspeed combo.

I dont like rubbing while i am taking corners and I am sure the rubbing would be much more if I would take the care to the track because fo hihger cornerspeeds (when I dont have the fear of headon collison or flying off the canyon I drive faster ). The car is fine while i am doing regular driving.

I belive I need harder springs, I am not ready to go with coilovers or adjustable suspension so I need springs, just harder.
Any siggestions?

It's probably best to have someone do it for you if you have never done it. Because if you mess up, than you got a busted fender. There is a tool that bolts onto your hub that makes it real easy. If you could get one of them somehow, it would make life easier.

Make sure they use a heat gun. So that the paint doesn't chip when they roll it I heard it good to do it on a hot day not a cold day. But I would have someone else do it so you can blame them if something happen.

the kg/mm race springs are stiffer but they drop 1.5". It would be more cost effective to roll your fenders first to see if that fixes it. You could try a skinnier tire as well.
