Alright, so here's the deal. Upon reading information from a lot of people, I seem to be getting conflicting information regarding swaybar tuning.

Understeering.
Case #1. Get a bigger front sway, a smaller rear sway (or stiffer front, softer rear) or both.

Case #2. Adjust your front to be softer or remove the stocker, or get stiffer rear.

I always thought that the stiffest end will lose traction first, which follows case #2. But some Solo2 and autoX/road racing drivers say that case#1 is actually correct.

How would getting a stiffer/bigger front correct understeer, if it adds stiffness to the front? wouldn't that make it lose traction easier?
