No offense, but people usually think that they can go around corners SO much faster with springs and sway bars and everything....its really not all that true. Its far more of a feel and balance thing.

"safe" cornering speed is in the perception...
of course, your tires will play a major roll in your max grip around a corner
but if your car rolls less then maybe you just feel more confident in cornering at higher speeds..
so it feels safer although your car still would've been able to make the corner with stock suspension.
