You get different data/input from different sources.
The GENERAL rule is:
Increase front bar stiffness, increase understeer.
Increase rear bar stiffness, increase oversteer.
I think the thinking is weight transfer/balance in turns?
The track guys, IIRC, say that you need more front bar for better traction/oversteer though.
All I know is that it's a balancing act and too much/too little of either bar plays different roles depending on what kind of driving you're going to be doing.
My input, for me, 99.9% of my driving is very aggressive street driving, so I got the Nismo S-Tune bars, because I assume they know what they're doing a bit, and they are making a stiffness setting for the masses, which I fall into.
