Not saying wheel travel is "bad". But of course at the track you'll want much stiffer suspension than stock, and with super-sticky tires, stiffer still. Otherwise you'll use up so much travel under hard braking and cornering that you don't have much left to deal with bumps (in addition to losing time at corner entry and in transitions as well as requiring more static camber due to more roll in cornering).
But in any case, the point is that if you have soft sways relative to springs, or NO sways, you'll use more suspension travel under cornering than under braking at the same g's. You'll be relatively stiffer in braking and softer in cornering. Generally, that implies a less than ideal setup, either it's too stiff under braking or too soft in cornering. In general, if you go significantly stiffer on spring rates, you'll want to go significantly stiffer on the overall swaybar stiffness as well. For rwd, many times all of the additional sway bar stiffness goes to the front (and depending on car and setup, sometimes way stiffer on the front bar and no rear bar).
