You are absolutely correct. Too high a rear stiffness relative to the front will creat oversteer. Too high in the front will create understeer. The trick is to get the combination just right. We perform a slalom test, skidpad, and a canyon carving test to ensure a good neutral package, with no violent oversteer. Unfortunately, we still haven't figured out how to control driver error. (I'm sure the government will mandate something in the next version of OBD that will stop that *snicker*)

Original Message:
I always thought that the front and rear
anti-sway bars had to be tuned together to control the amount of
under/over steer that they can change. If you change bard
size/stiffness,
you may find your self in a mess at just the wrong time.
