Try using the front oem sway with the rear hotchkis bar.
Rake will make the car more stable at speed, at the cost of braking stability (which is good in many cases).

What I meant was 'more controllable throttle steer'. Corrective steering input is fine, just not if it requires sudden opposite lock.
I wasn't softening the dampers to break the rear end loose - it actually ADDED traction back there. Now that it's softer, what I notice is when it breaks loose I find it more controllable and progressive- it actually allows me to throttle steer more as I'm more confident in controlling it. Before it was more of a knife edge - when it broke loose I frequently had to catch it -fast- with opposite lock.
My rear bar is set on the 2nd softest of 4 settings, and the front bar is set to it's softest setting.
