...well, one can't win a 1st place at Nationals without the larger front bar, so it likely matters. Everything about the car's handling is enhanced with a larger front bar on course as has been covered ad infinitum in the forum here by National level trophy winning drivers.
I guess that's been the opposite of what I've been advised to do for auto-x which is to soften up the front axle. This is from a suspension designer and we'll know BMW tuner.

Maybe I misinterpreted it to apply to only springs and not springs and sways.
