You said your car understeers and you want more neutral handling, adding a stiffer front bar will just make the car understeer more. Although, I'm surprised your car understeers with stiffer rear springs. Maybe post your alignment specs and wheel/tire set up.

Well i could only speak from personal experience. I have the Eibach set and makes the car handle very nicely. I also have coil-overs with race tires on. The car handles very neutral, i would say just perfect for me.

Adding a smaller less stiff bar may help the understeer or else you will have to get a non staggered wheel set up. You always try adding more camber in the front than the rear and more toe out on the front first

Something about this doesn't sound right... in for alignment specs! What was damaged in the accident?
