It keeps your front tires flat on the ground and in a better position to get traction rather than leaning your car into the corner twisting up the wheel geometry like a soggy french fry.
The bar is very noticeable once you have it installed, it should be very apparent that the traction around corners is being maximized thanks to the wheels being kept in place (where they should be for optimum) by a stiffer bar.
So less body roll & increased traction.
Caution: May cause more fun on off-ramps

I think what most people are complaining about when it comes to oversteer is when they screw up and plow their car on a hot corner and then wonder why they can't regain control. With a soggy loose setup the car could roll enough for the tire to catch an edge (similar to when you really f-ck up on a snowboard) and it shoots you out to the side... I would say if you learn the limits of your car you should only have a slight squeal as you hit a corner at most and the bar will actually improve how quickly you can get around it... even against somebody who is rolling the car to the limits and riding the sidewall.
