If you are slamming into the bumpstops when cornering you either need more spring or to raise your ride height or otherwise increase available travel.
A 1000 lb per inch spring at one inch of compression supports 1000 lbs. A 500 lb per inch spring at 2 inches of compression supports the same 1000 lbs.
