Zsr31 - have you maxed out the negative camber adjustment of the rear wheels? It helps alot on reducing tire roll.

nobody is listening because it's wrong.

the car rolls so little in the rear as compared to the front, that it will pick the inside rear corner off the ground.

if you're still not conviced, try this at your next local autocross: unhook the front swaybar.

this will give you and idea of what it would be like to increase roll stiffness bias towards the rear as you suggest.

cheers,
jason
