If you can't change springs, your task is to choose between body roll or wheel spin.
My understanding (could be wrong) is that the Viggen front anti-roll bar is actually *softer* than on the SE. This was done to minimize front inside wheel spin under hard cornering. A firmer anti-roll bar will minimize the dive of the outside wheel (and thus body roll), but could actually result in the inside tire lifting more often.
This does not mean the SE has less body roll. The SE has much longer travel, softer springs than the Viggen.
If you want to go firmer, check the specs on a stock SE bar...but if you're really interested in reducing wheel spin you might want to go the opposite direction and find a softer one.
