Swaybars link suspension together and interfere or limit your dampers job. Forces are transmitted from one wheel to the opposite. This makes a car jarring and uncomfortable on rougher roads. Get really stiff swaybars and you can have inside wheel lift off the ground. Having softer links between opposite suspension towers allows each corner to work independently on damping without interference. In theory its more precise. In the end its always a tradeoff with suspension.
