Good point on the added weight, that would be extra noticeable with the weight transfer during heavy breaking.
And I agree that therefore the front sway would be more stiff then the rear to prevent oversteer.

But as the stock set up is set up for understeer, the stock set up would already have a stiffer front sway compared to the rear.

And if I look at the offerings for sway bars they say ~200% stiffer in front and ~100% stiffer in rear (average).
So in my mind that shifts the balance to even more understeer.

Did you mean understeer? A stiff front would induce understeer
(Or maybe you're to aggressive off the brakes and on the gas )
