Because this is what happens even with a stiffer (Stillen) front bar:

sway bars....

You gotta get the tires facing the right direction first, with a big bar and camber.

Got it. So they stop the car from rolling and cut down on dynamic changes toward positive camber.

not sure why people don't just order the front bar. They sell it separately.

That's what I said. However they refused to do so for a long time. I just got them to do it about 3-4 months ago when I called again and they gave in. I also had to email someone and he said we don't do it but we'll add a part now for you online.
