Not trying to keep this thread going for no reason (although this one is probably immortal), but to clarify with a stiffer bar, the outside tire is getting MORE downward push. Sway bar transfers load from the inside to the outside tire, resulting in more uneven load distribution. So ideally you’d want as little sway bar as possible so you get the most even load distribution between tires… =max grip
