An X-brace won't do anything for body roll.

Thanks for the responses. It looks like a sway bar mod is in order. Any suggestions on a mild sway bar?

The Saner bar (available from the S2KI store) seems like a decent low-cost way to go. I have the Comptech adjustable bar which is nearly 4x the cost...

The x-brace won't help body roll, but it does stiffen the chassis up even more. I like mine.

The new Saner front bar is adjustable, should help roll, and will allow you to run 225 tires on stock rims. (They're supposed to be coming out with a corresponding bar for the rear as well very soon, if not already)

Replacing springs gets expensive, but it's your best bet.

I also have 5 Whiteline 30mm Solid Spring Steel front bars in stock at pretty reasonable prices...

I've got an X brace and springs already.

What do you mean by "allow you to run 225 tires on stock rims." Does it mean that the tires won't rub because you have less roll?

Because I have 18's with 225 tires (front) and will rub on hard/aggressive cornering. It my thoughts are correct. I'm in for a sway bar mod!

Is your bar adjustable?
