Johan, actually both happen with a stiffer REAR bar.
It reduces weight transfer to the front AND increases weight transfer to the rear. Thus the front sticks better and the rear becomes looser.
My goal is to get the best grip on the front without increasing the stiffness of the rear bar. I think I can do that with some simple but effective modifications.
If one was to really get into adjusting for track conditions, you can have a rear bar made that can be adjusted for different tracks or surfaces. Center would be normally neutral. Then, depending on the surface or speed of any given track, you can add a little understeer or oversteer with the rear bar adjustments.
