Better handling by removing/reducing swaybars?

I'm wondering with our lower center of gravity and huge choice of stiffer springs and dampeners, can we benefit from reducing anti-roll stiffness?

Ideally the ideal suspension is about the correct spring rates and appropriate dampening. The roll bars should just be used to dial in understeer/oversteer

Has anyone played with this idea? I'm thinking primarily from a street car perspective, where improved ride quality is appreciate and more independent wheel movement can provide more overall grip.

As an example, the new Miata has a bit of body roll, but an tremendous amount of grip and reasonable compliant suspension.
