According to an article in Race tech magazine overall load transfer depends only on CG heigth and the width of the car's track. Dampers, springs and geometry only controls how the load transfer varies from front to rear and also how it varies as the car passes through the entry, apex and exit of the corner.
It also states that load transfer is bad for grip.
that last sentence is a massive contradiction!
lowering roll center puts more load on that wheel by the car rolling more.
trust me this is what happens.
