there's even more to it ...
each bar individually can be used to adjust the front AND rear handling.
so, with just a front bar, you have two options, with a front and rear bar, you have four options. (if the rear bar is adjustable, that is)
for the front bar:
- losening the bar (moving the arm towards the FRONT of the car) will reduce oversteer (the rear gets more grip) and add understeer (front gets less grip)
- tightening the bar (moving the arm towards the BACK of the car) will reduce understeer (front gets more grip) and add oversteer (rear gets less grip)
oversteer = rear end is lose
understeer = front end is pushing

You're going to mix him all up Andy.
Loosening the front bar - adds more grip to the front = less understeer, more oversteer
Tightening the front bar - adds more grip to the rear = more understeer, less oversteer.
Think of it as a see saw, by loosening the front you're sending more weight transfer to the front and adding grip to the front. By tightening the front you're sending more weight transfer to the rear and adding grip to the rear.
That should be clear as mud.
