Yah, I realize that front wheel lift in hard cornering is just a "feature" of the weight distribution in these cars.
The op isn't asking about track or A/X,

As I stated the faster you go, the more force goes thru the suspension and the bigger the spring rate to control it. Also best for street is not likely to be best for track or A/X, very different criteria. Even the factory o.e spec was based on criteria that many more performance-oriented owners disagree w/, hence the large aftermarket.

Even when the unloaded wheel is on the ground it's not doing much. In high speed maneuver at most 2 wheels are loaded and capable of doing much, That's why you do most of the braking in a straight line, then transition to the corner, then transition to the gas, The tires friction circle is the arbiter of what can be done and when.
