Roll bar question '04 s2000
What function does the "roll bar" actually perform/assist?
Does it (a)affect the "speed" or "rate" of the lateral transition?
-or- (b)does it reduce/control the rate of body roll?
I had an '03 s2000 and I would like to "quicken" the lateral transition on my '04.
Will a stiffer roll bar achieve this?
Example:
Will the '03 and prior roll bar (stiffer) quicken my lateral transition?, and what other changes will I notice, ie, stiffer ride, reduced suspension compliance, etc.
Thanks for your help.

Shock absorbers change the rate of roll...

Yes, I mean sway bar.
So, if I increase the stiffness of the sway-bar will I gain faster lateral response? Yes?
I like the suspension compliance of the '04 but would like to increase(quicken) the lateral response to be more like my '03 s2000.
It sounds like I can achieve this by stiffening my sway bar.
Is this true?
I understand that less compliance in the tire/suspension set-up will also achieve this.
However I am curious as to what a stiffer sway-bar will do to my car.
Thanks again.
