That is what you'd be doing with a stiffer rear sway, you'll have it so stiff that when you are cornering and encounter the tiniest bump, it'll unsettle the car and break rear traction in the turn or even straight ahead. This is why you can't just increase the stiffness of sway bars and expect the car to be faster around a course. The car was built to rule the track from the beginning. Stiffer sways can make a difference, but you'd likely need to adjust a bunch of other things to make it provide an benefit vs. the disadvantage of breaking traction due to bumps. At some point, a car is only useful on a smooth track due to regular roads having too many irregularities. I'm not talking about potholes or obvious bumps, but the normal small stuff that you never feel in a normal car, because the suspension sucks it up. Once you have limited travel, stiff springs and shocks (and sways) for handling and to resist lean and maximize traction, you are battling it out against these kinds of bumps to try and achieve a balance. Another way that this is handled is cars that make significant downforce at speed, to help plant the rear better. If you were going to increase downforce (and actually drive at speeds where this is generated), put better coil-over shocks on there (not just aftermarket ones, but ones that actually improve on the damping rates), stickier and even wider tires, etc., then maybe a stiffer rear sway may be in the cards, but it's often a give-and-take situation. It's understanding the total effects of a mod. Some mods can be done without adversely affecting the rest of the car, but these are often the least "gains" at the same time. Mods that offer more gains often have to be done in concert with a bunch of other mods to gain the benefit or not create a negative effect.
