I've yet to own/drive a car that from the factory that offered the roll stiffness to which I am accustomed. I habitually like stiff set-ups and with the EDC, choose to address that viathe bars. I have a track day on September 26th, so I'll see how it goes.
I'm just being proactive.
Stiffer bars transfer load from the inside wheel to the outside wheel, which in turn pushes the outer tire into overload at a lower cornering speed. You trade away grip to get flatter cornering.

If you want it flatter and you want more grip then put in stiffer springs - that reduces the weight transfer and makes the inside tire do more work, raising the speed where the outside tire overloads and starts to slide.
