PSA: if you don’t track your car, your coilovers are set too hard
Posted in another thread:
i see a lot of posts about comfort. If you have coilovers, do yourself a favor and set them all the way soft and adjust firmness to taste from there.
for reference I have meisterR coilovers.

after driving around a while, I decided to turn the front ones just a few clicks towards hard. It feels great on rough roads and I don’t notice any difference in the turns.

bRo, but racecars have hard suspension so every car should have hard suspension. Cut the springs, turn the ***** to 11, and hit 8k RPM everywhere, life is short bro, gotto live while you can. (completely joking), yeah. I fail to understand the appeal of "street" race cars. Even a new mustang GT hits 60 mph in 2nd gear in 4.5 seconds... Then you're well past 100 mph in 3rd. So how is that fun (*cough* illegal) on the street? I used to have a 2016 MX-5, wonderful street car, felt super fast but actually you were only going 50-70mph. Now I have an actual SCCA race car I have fun with a few times a year. Road cars are old Lexus's for my garage from here on out... Just wish toyota made more convertibles...

I couldn't tell you exactly where my Mesiter R coilovers are set, but I put them more towards the firm side for top-down driving. The car doesn't feel like it's twisting around aa much that way.
Once the weather gets too bad, I will soften them for top-up driving.

You might benefit from some swaybar upgrades. Those really remove most of the bodyroll.
