Some of the pros here are better equiped to answer this, but from my research, aftermarket sways will typically reduce understeer and move the car back towards neutral. For example, I am about to add Stillens to my car, daily driver. The fronts are 29% stiffer than stock, and the rears, in their stiffest setting (which everyone here recommends, as well as Stillen) are 70%stiffer than stock. So you can see, this sway setup will dial oversteer back in, taking the car from factory understeer more to neutral. A 40 or 50mm stagger will add understeer, so if your sway setup has taken the car to neutral or slight oversteer, that much stagger will dial some oversteer out.
