Sure - stiffening up the front or rear will cause that end to become more prone to sliding - If you stiffen up the rear, it will cause more oversteer. Stiffen up the front (with springs, strut bars, sway bars) will cause more understeer (pushing).

Now, this bar caused understeer may only be noticeable to those with the car set pretty neutral in the first place. I would imagine on a 100% stock vehicle, the bar would only lessen some of the natural oversteer.

Now - I have Tarmac 0 coilovers, whiteline rear camber bushings, and of course wheels and tires - which should be relevant in the conversation sitting at 17x8 with Dunlop ZII's 245/40.

I also have my alignment set at -1.5 Front, -2.5 rear. I am going to flip that around for next season and see how it goes. Should help balance everything out just changing that.
