A higher roll center could be compared to adding a antiroll bar, but without upsetting the car in the bumps. On a bumpy track with high grip, were you need a rollbar in the corners, but that makes you mess up in the bumpy sections, you could go for a higher rollcenter, and add a softer spring.

A higher roll center does take away some chassis roll, but it does not use the bar to keep the car flat by lifting the inside wheel, and it could cause traction rolling.

It is something that can make a big difference, and it's definitely worth testing it more!
