Yep, absolutely. A byproduct of installing stiffer springs is less reliance on the sway bar to control body roll. That said, I'd never recommend installing stiffer springs if your only goal is to reduce body roll, because you'll impact ride quality at all times with stiffer springs, versus only some of the time with thicker sway bars. But you're absolutely right - if you happen to be installing stiffer springs for other reasons, you won't need to go crazy with sway bars.

Many race cars don't even have sway bars, because they sometimes handle body roll entirely with the springs. Obviously you can't get away with that on a street car, since the springs would have to be so stiff that you'd rattle your fillings out.
