OK - I'll wade in to this mess...
Sway bars obviously reduce body roll by coupling the suspension on the left
side of the car to the suspension on the left. By design the sway bars
reduce the degrees of body roll by increasing roll resistance without increasing
spring rate. In a race car you want to see about 1 to 3 degrees (radials
differ from bias plys) negative camber for maximum traction. Reducing roll
resistance will reduce traction losses due to camber change (the heavily loaded
outside front tire will go positive as the body rolls).
