? new springs reduce rolling in corners?

While I await delivery for the upgraded front anti-roll bar and bushings from the Jag R Performance Pack (thank you Gaudin Jaguar parts for being so diligent!), I'm wondering if changing the springs would improve cornering as well. The R pack springs are not available anywhere, nor is the R pack rear anti-roll bar but at least there are alternatives.
Can anyone attest to new front springs reducing lateral roll?
I have no interest in changing springs for anything else as I find the appearance just fine and I like not scraping on anything (which several people here have complained of when they changed their springs).

Also, changing rates in the front but not the rear may create issues. (In cornering, it creates a twisting load in the body since the front will now want to roll less than the rear. Under braking, the car will dive less; under acceleration, it will sit back less.)

Do you have details about the diameters on the R Performance front and rear sway bars? The dealers in the USA don't. I'm in Denver CO.
I have a 2002 coupe with some "SuperSport" option that pre-dates the R Performance parts introduced as an option for coupes from 2003-2006
Just to be clear, you are saying the convertibles have a larger rear sway bar than the R Performance Pack did? Details please...
Also, XKRacer (Tony of ParagonDesignUK) informed me of a 22mm rear bar by Andrew of Jaguar Specialties in Los Gatos, CA USA. I just emailed him today Saturday to ask about price and availability.
