Stiffer front = added understeer
Stiffer rear = added oversteer.

Depending on the suspension's starting point, feedback may vary.

Sure it is... tire pressure is another factor, in addition to what you mention. But, I was just sticking to discussion of what droplinks do for you...

Joe your new Eibach springs will help reduce body roll . The front adjustable links will also help IF you need them. Also note that leaning body roll while not confidence inspiring does not necessarily mean the car corners any slower. The changes in camber of the tire to the road which occur with body roll can have a negative impact on handling but the double A-arm front suspension used on the 928 sufferers far less than the "cheap" Mc pherson strut as used on 911 , 944, super beetle, Z cars etc.
