I finally got to do this today in the last session at Sandown. I ran the Yokohama Advan A048 with 205/50R15's at the front and 195/55R15's at the back and the rear Whiteline anti-roll bar disconnected (the front Whiteline bar remained at the light setting).
Basically, the car felt it had the same balance like this (in both the fast and the slow turns) as it did with a matched set of tyres and the rear anti-roll bar on the lightest setting.

Thats a good result. Thats broadly similar to what I found on the street with my tyre mix and match. Dunlops all round + RARB was more or less equal to AD08R street-semi fronts, dunlop rears and no RARB. With the latter setup that I run now it will tend toward understeer at the limit in the wet, and can induce really predictable tailiness in the dry which is ideal for me really.
I wonder if the balnce will stay the same for you in the wet.
