Is this progressive rear bar for a B14? Last I checked, they didn't have one for the B14.
They had Nord's design, but hadn't made any. Guess I'll just have to check.

I could be wrong about the Progressive bars. It says 200sx, but the model years are 2000-02, so it's probably really for a b15.

Taking the front STB off won't do anything to reduce understeer(all it does is stiffen the chassis, which is always good). Reduce the rear pressures man, you'll notice a difference right a way.

Removing the front bar
will reduce understeer, because it will decrease the stiffness of the front suspension compared to the rear (not the most technical explanation, I know) . No one who autocrosses any Sentra recommends using a front STB. If you're not sure, just try it. Remove it for the next event and see if you can tell the difference (I bet you will). I drove a really nice B13 around a course a few weeks ago w/ AGX's, Hypecoil springs, ST rear bar, and front STB, and it understeered much more than I expected.
There is also something called a G-load brace, available through Stillen or Nissan Motorsports, that mounts underneath the car and is supposed to work really well to stiffen the rear. I plan to get one.
