Wanted to find out if changing values for brake balance front and rear what does that result in oversteer and understeer, so

high rear value compared to front does that cause oversteer and
high front value compared to rear does that cause understeer

I've started to play around with these with everything switched off, used to use ABS=1 but switching that off I've found the car handles differently, as if ABS is acting like a ASM. It's alot more concentration but alot more fun.

Technically yes,

high rear value compared to front does that cause oversteer and
high front value compared to rear does that cause understeer

However, I dont believe it is wise to use brake bias to control over/under steer. That task is best left to the suspension since you can make many more fine adjustments to get the car to drive how you want. I would suggest setting up the brake bias to stop the car properly, then use the suspension to tune out over/under steer.
 
every car is different for the brakes, some like more rear, others front, some the same value.
Its best to go with what "feels" right for you under braking.

but basically if the back gets out of shape under braking = lower the rear value.
If the front won't turn in under braking = lower the front value
