There is a ratio between front and rear ride frq that will tell you if the car has a tendency to oversteer or understeer.

By itself, it can't begin to tell you that.

What you might be able to say - if you had a neutral car, and then you increased front spring rate, or softened the rear spring rate (increased that ratio value), the car would probably tend to understeer. But that's the opposite of what you're saying.
