school me on roll centres again.

Two years after the SAS and rear suspension mods I am finally getting around to finessing the job.

With roll centres and panhards my thoughts are that the lower the roll center is at the panhard the less stable the ride or easier it is to tip over, or is it vice versa?

I just imagine that with a lower roll centre more of the vehicles weight is rolling above that roll centre so it would be less stable.

But something tells me I have it all wrong too.

So some advice is needed please peoples.

Cheers
