A swaybar transfers grip to the opposite end of the car. When you put a big rear bar on you force weight to the front - this can usually be seen on a fwd car when the inside rear tire is in the air. The car weighs X, and now the other three tires are carrying this weight.
On a rwd car a big front bar can be used to try and lift the inside front, this forces weight to the rear, helping acceleration off of the corner.
Picking up a tire is the extreme, but even when this does not happen the bar is always trying to lift the inside tire.

Using a smaller front bar will help keep the inside front tire in contact with the road, and transfer less weight to the rear. The car thinks the rear bar is now bigger. And I have stiff enough springs that it still wont roll excessively.

A smaller front bar is a common mod on a stock class fwd car, it is the only bar you can change, and it really helps a car with an open diff put down power.

A small bar can hurt in slaloms, but you can get that back with more rebound in your shocks.
