Hi guys, I think this topic has covered in many places on this forum and other forums.
But no where I find a clear interpretation of the effect with larger sway bar(s).

Assuming the car is pretty much all stock, by adding a bigger front bar will increase or decrease the need for more negative camber?

Will adding a bigger sway bar require adding more camber?

Dose less body roll cause the tires to take more load on the outside edge?

Can anyone help explain?

Thanks in advance :-)

Check out this post. Look at the sway bar info and alignment (half way down). Adding a sway bar does not require you to use more camber, but it helps. Most people on a stock suspension will say to run as much camber as possible as allowable.

My impression is:
Using a stiffer bar causes less body roll on hard cornering. So, with less suspension travel it also means less dynamic camber getting generated.
Assuming the car starts out with conservative mid point from stock alignment settings...
With Street tires, you might need more negative static camber (to a point) to reduce the tire roll over...
With Race tires, since you have the benefit of stiffer sidewalls, you might not need to increase much more static negative camber.
