Got to be a little careful here.

Lowering a strut suspension (front) will drop the roll center about twice as fast as the front of the body drops, so the front is trying to give you more roll rather than less. The only thing that saves this from being a complete mess is that most "lowering springs" are somewhat stiffer than the OE springs you took out, and it's the extra stiffness that's doing any roll reduction.

What happens at the rear of an S197 when that end id lowered is a slightly different story.
