the spring rates increased as the years went on. what you are probably experiencing is a shock issue. many people confuse shock stiffness with spring stiffness or general suspension stiffness.
shocks are there to do one thing, and one thing only. they are there to control the spring. a stiff shock can "feel" like a stiff suspension, but in reality it is no stiffer than a soft shock. the bumps will suck though. gas shocks, which are incredibly common to be installed, are probably the single worst thing you can do to these cars.
the key to improving cornering (not to be confused with handling) is to balance out weight transfer across the car. sometimes this is done by spring rate increase. sometimes by sway bar increase. sometimes by chassis bracing. sometimes by tire change. most of the time, it is a balance of all of the above.
that is why the 968 outcornered the 944. they did a bit of all.
