I suspect that was Burgermeister who sent that through to you. Based on much of the work he did I can estimate the following:
Increasing T-bars 3mm diameter front and rear = approximately .6 degrees less lean at 1 G cornering.
Stabilizer bar diameters would need to be increased by roughly 2.5 mm front and rear to have the same -.6 degrees per G effect.
Swapping out the bushings with something much stiffer could also have a similar effect.
Tire compliance is much smaller- going from 16s to 18s would probably only get you in the range of .2 degrees.
A stock car starts out rolling about 4 degrees per G. Many race car setup books tell you to aim for roughly 2 degrees total roll on cars such as ours.
