The primary function of anti roll bars is to reduce body roll by adding to the roll resistance of the springs.
The anti-roll bar reduces body roll to keep the suspension geometry, and ultimately the tire, parallel with the road.
Stiffer bars reduce body roll more, but too stiff a bar can deteriorate independent suspension performance, and ultimately cause an inside tire to lift off the ground during hard cornering.
