Understeer is when the car turns less than how much you have the wheel turned. Oversteer is when it is turning more than you turned the wheel. Putting a lrger rear sway bar generally reduces the understeer your WRX has in stock form. The adjustability allows for changing how much of an effect it has.

If you're interested in slightly more reading on how a swaybar works, read "Competition Car Suspension" by Allan Staniforth. Good book, and it explains springs, shocks, rollbars, etc, etc, etc...
