Have you had the geometry checked/adjusted? That can make the biggest difference, regardless of whether you have top class suspension components, they're no good if nothing is aligned

Have you changed anything else? Get spacers on or a lower offset wheel.

Nothin else has been done to it, was told the whiteline roll bar n spacing the rear wheels transforms it

if it just got uprated springs then maybe the shocks are too weak for the springs now or they are just worn.

Shit tyres? Have you had proper 4 wheel alignment done, or just the tracking?
