Your fronts will have a lot less grip compared to the rear. Meaning if you go into a corner hot, your rears will handle it and not step out. Your fronts won't have enough traction to change direction and instead of turning, they will go straighter than you'd like. With a RWD, you can always give it a bit of power to reduce the traction to the rear and try and get some power induced oversteer though.
My bad! Meant under steer! Lol

My current bars aren't adjustable, but if I find it to be too much, I'll spring for an adjustable or stiffer rear bar
