Softer springs may cause the car to roll more than you want, but between ride height and camber plates up front and top mounts in the rear, you should be able to put together a suspension where you aren't forced to set up your car around hitting bumpstops under normal circumstances.

Looking at the 5k springs is only looking at a SINGLE part of the equation. There are so many other elements that need to be considered. Those same cars are running larger front sway bars and have double or triple adjustable coilovers, etc. Bumpstops are just as much of the equation and another element for tuning. See RCEs response for even more insight.

Thanks for bringing this up. OEM tuning from Mazda on the new MX-5 is VERY bump stop active too.
