Larger sway bars have two main effects. They change the vehicle balance in terms of understeer or oversteer, and increase roll resistance. Both of these attributes can provide increased overall grip.

A sway bar (either front or rear) is designed to increase wheel rate and thus decrease body roll in the process. In Subarus specifically, this leads to a drastically better change in suspension geometry for lateral grip. Off-roading is not recommended with much of a sway bar; thus rally drivers often use very light bars or none at all to gain maximum wheel travel.
