Stiffer rear springs should increase oversteer.
Stiffer rear springs should increase oversteer.
Understeer causes the car to go straighter than the trajectory that the driver is trying to take. This is sometimes known as pushing, plowing, or ‘refusing to turn in’. However, the car will be fairly stable as it is not wanting to spin. Understeer can appear under heavy acceleration and through heavy braking. If the brake balance is too heavy at the front (the front brakes are stronger than the rear), the car may understeer because the front wheels lock and lose effective steering. To counter understeer, more rear wing can be added to create more downforce at the back of the car, and the rear suspension softened.

Sorry, you got it backwards... but I had to look it up to make sure, I wasn't backwards...
The softer wheel rate will give more grip, so if the back is stiffer, it will slip more, creating more understeer.

The last sentence should end "creating more oversteer".
