Will springs do the trick or am I playing with fire?

Your saying they improve cornering correct? How much of a difference are we talking about?
Say for $hits & giggles, I took my car stick around a track. Are we talking about a second, a tenth of a second or no real difference. What could I expect?
Sorry for all the questions, I just don't know alot about suspension so I am learning and I don't want to go into it blindly.
1 last thing...the bump stops...What are those for?
Thanks for your help!

You got it WORKS was after a performance benefit when engineering the Ride springs. The drop in ride height is more about lowering the center of gravity rather than looks and the progressive rate springs help maintain the ride quality. This helps increase cornering ability while decreasing some body roll.
I dont have any quantifiable data handy right now. The track-related questions are valid, but will vary by track.
The optional bumpstops are mainly for those who don't want to trim their stock ones. If you're comfortable modifying the original bumpstops on your EVO, then don't worry about it.
