I know some people can naturally rotate/over rotate in stock form lol.
On the focus st, the car rotated beautifully with lift over oversteer and I just controlled the slide with the gas. The over rotation was a bit violent on the wrx (maybe due to the awd). On the mustang, it was honestly pretty gradual when over rotation happened as long as I was careful with the throttle but I wouldn’t say I ever got “comfortable” with the over rotation.
Not sure if this helps. I wouldn’t want a twitchy rear but a willing(?) rear for autox/track application. I autoxed with the 86 and the front end pushed in technical section and when the rear did come around, it felt snappy. I don’t think I would want to add more bar (maybe even get a smaller rear bar like most STX specced 86s)

Assuming you're not trying to build to a class, and want to learn car control rather than "go fast", get front lower control arms, one set of camber bolts, and go heavy on front camber. Keep the rear camber lower with RLCAs, and do 0 toe front and a touch of toe-in rear.
This will set you up for learning, and ultimately more driver mod, rather than an AutoX setup that is only good for AutoX and nothing else.
