Not invariably for all cars. Maybe for TR6 cars and TR4 cars. But maybe not
even for all of them.
Many cars have severe roll-understeer due to camber curve and other
considerations. VW Rabbits and MGBs spring to mind. These cars generally
will understeer LESS with the addition of a stiff front bar.
Your guidelines are time-honored, but not invariable. Every car's handling
is a sum of all its parts. The effect of a change may be unexpected.
I want to get a front bar for the TR4. Then I will evaluate if I want to
try the rear bar I have. Installing the rear bar alone would be silly: The
car already lifts the rear wheel.
