Traction rolling never makes the car faster and never puts the car on edge in the right way, having to back off if your car is about to roll will slow you down much more than having a car that doesn't roll in the first place.
Traction roll is easy to achieve - give yourself a 10mm ride height for a start - will that be quicker than a 5mm ride height?......NO!
Gaining more steering is quite easy, but normally it is not what you do with the front end, it is what you do with your back end that increases this. Examples being higher your real roll centre, stand your rear shocks up, stiffen rear roll bar - making the rear end more loose will always give more front end steering.
It also depends on where you want the steering with what setup change to make, if it is more initial steering you may stiffen the front springs, if it is coming out of the corner you may soften the front springs - it is always a compromise on setup. Another example would be gear diff oil - lighter makes the car rotate quicker, heavier gives more on power steering.
If you are running the kit setup and want more steering, the first thing I would do would be change the oil all round to 400cst and change the rear springs to match your front springs, run with more bump steer (up to 3.5mm) and also run more camber on the front than the rear.
You will then have plenty of steering!
