Yes, the OP seems to have it backwards

A stiffer front bar would be used to cure over steer/tail-happiness. It will INCREASE under steer. Many people confuse flat,prompt turn-in with more grip int he front. Not so. In effect, a stiffer bar causes the wheel on THAT SAME axle to run at a higher slip angle - ergo a stiffer front bar causes more under steer.

I'm chasing a tail-happy boxster and job #1 is to replace the front sway bar bushings - the last remnant of the old, OEM suspension and likely, as the brits would say, perished.
