Ride quality/comfort is subjective. I personally can't stand the ride in a Lotus Exige for the street, but my buddy loves it and thinks it is plenty comfortable. The stiffer bars reduce roll more, but that does not always mean your limits are inherently increased.

Alignment setting come into play also. On the front. Camber is -2, Caster is +7, Toe is a hair in. The rear Camber is -1.75, Toe is a hair in. Great turn in, stays mid turn, Sometimes have trouble getting out of the turn because of my LSD diff got hot and giving me fits. The car gets twitchy at speed. Suits me perect.
Sounds like your suspension is properly set up for the most part. Maybe you just need a Diff cooler now?
