If you get longer, thicker springs, and pair them with dampers which keep the rest length the same, the car will stay at the same height, but have less squidge under load or cornering. It'll also handle a little sharper. That's the theory anyway. I'd wait for a second opinion from an expert.
Nice car though. That's the only E30 I've ever seen which can do eyebrows successfully.

As a 15" BBS bufty with a filler allergy... that car actually carries it off! Nice job.
You're going to need to reduce suspension travel somehow. Thicker springs should help, also - can you do anything with bumpstops?
