At least someone here understands how things work.I was about to say something until I read your post.

An increase of the pivot block spacers will raise the roll centre at that end of the car, the higher the roll centre is placed the less that end of the car will initially roll when entering the turn.

The more a car rolls the more grip it is generating on entry and exit, up until the point at which it traction rolls or just feels like it's reacting to input very slowly, a lower roll centre will aid the car by keeping it flat during cornering making it more nimble but the only increase of grip will be mid-corner.
