Not necessarily. The tires just dig into the gravel, so suspension stiffness doesn't come into play. My spring rates are on the light(er) side at 6kg square. This really neutralized my car's handling since OEM, the rear is stiffer. Which is fine, because I can take on ramps quickly and have a neutral, to slight understeer feel. However, since I lowered the car this much, my center of gravity actually became higher, so it's an odd sensation of having less body roll with a higher center of gravity.

I was generalizing ther terminology. The specific term is roll center. My cars roll center is higher in relation to the center of gravity since I didn't replace all other suspension components. It's a very complicated topic, but look up "center of gravity vs roll center."
