Here's what an actual chassis engineer has to say about it:
Quote:
If you draw a free body diagram, you can see that the CG shift laterally under roll is very small, even with this super exaggerated diagram with tons of roll. Typically the weight transfer due to roll is under two percent, even in a car that rolls a lot. You are not gaining much by limiting roll. Lowering the CG and or increasing track width are much more effective means of reducing weight transfer.

And later, he even says this:

The converse is true for a short roll couple. If you have short roll couples, engineers say that you have a lot of geometric anti roll which has the same effect as stiffening the suspension, it increases weight transfer to the outside tire. This can increase over or understeer depending on what end of the car you do it to.

He refers to "roll couple" as the distance between the CG and RC. A short roll couple is another way of saying a high RC.
