Great deal on Karcepts sway bar, worried it'll be too stiff

I am continuing to setup my GR86 for CST class while keeping it my daily street car.

Right now, I have Tarmac 2's and RLCAs, no other mods. -2.6 degrees camber front, -2.0 rear.

Only competing at the local level, though we have a lot of fast drivers who place upper pack at nationals. I am competitive with them, often in top 5 PAX and always within top 10, usually out of 60-70 drivers.

I've been finding the car to be really good with just these basic mods.

Another driver has a full set of Karcepts bars for this platform for sale for a great price. Only thing is that it's the stiffer of the two front bar options.

Karcepts recommends the softer bar for 215-245 width tires and under -4 degrees camber. That fits my car.

The stiffer bar is meant for cars with 245-275 tires and -4 to -5 degrees camber.

I'm on 245s, but probably won't go past -3.2 degrees camber anytime soon. Maybe a touch more, but not up to -4 range.

I'm a bit worried about getting these and being overly stiff in the front. I already find that the car gets a bit understeer-happy later in the day when the lot starts to get really hot.
