Since I can also swap out one sway bar, I'm looking into options. Seems like most people go for a stiffer front bar, but I read that a stiffer front bar increases understeer.
Does a stiffer front bar increase understeer? Given that I'm prone to understeer already, would I be better off considering a stiffer rear bar instead?

What's your alignment? Bone stock suggests you didn't add bolts and max out negative camber, which will help you a lot.
The stiffer front bar does increase understeer, but it's done because of the assist in transitions it provides - something you see a lot of in the typical AutoX.
