So, if we have a stock WRX, on which we throw a stiffer front bar in hopes to increase traction/decrease understeer by controlling camber change, it will understeer more, just as conventional thought would tell us.

For this theory pan out correctly, we need to throw some wider rubber under the car to handle the extra lateral load.

EDIT: wait, no...I think I see what you're driving at. re-re-reading.
No, sounds like you've got it - it's all a trade between how much vertical load a tire can take (the wider the tire the more it can take), what your camber is, slip angle, steering angle, etc etc etc. This thread has some conversation and examples regarding weight transfer with some examples... take a look:
