Hi Ash
Yes you have figured it out.
Basically if you fit a roll bar it stops the car generating body roll in a corner and keeps the chassis flatter in a turn, this then means the end of the car where the roll bar is fitted is stiffer in a corner which = less grip
So if you fit a rear roll bar the rear will be stiffer in the turn reducing rear grip = more steering
If you fit a front roll bar the front will be stiffer in the turn reducing steering and therefor the car will fell like you have more rear traction.
Thicker the bar the bigger the impact
If you use a thin bar you can get a happy medium like i have been running on the front of my CR. I do not loose much steering but the front is a little stiffer and not wanting to dive into a turn as much.
Hope that helps
