It doesn't make sense that the CHF changes the stiffness of the ride. All that roll bar does is transmit a change in ride height from one front wheel to the other front wheel. It does not support the chassis like springs do. So unless your bar was frozen in the brackets it should not affect ride stiffness.

Also, to do the front CHF properly on the 16K chassis (27K/27.1) you need longer end links or a plate. Moving the stock end links to the inside hole puts the geometry completely out of whack for that chassis.
