Regards poly bushes for the rear - choose a soft compound.
You'd be surprised how much hard bushes will stuff your ride.
Actually, a poor man's solution is to cut off the part of the standard rubber bush that protrudes, and then put a big flat washer on either side.
On sway bars, some aftermarket bars mount backwards towards the rear.
Avoid these, unless they have plenty of allowance for flexing - the axel and swapbars move in different arcs, which doesn't do much for any semi-rigid bracket that trys to keep them connected

because I can certainly tell you it does not increase understeer.

its the opposite dude. If u increase the rear inside wheel lift that reduces grip in the rear which gives u that cool mid corner oversteer/turn in. Altho with everything there are limits. U dont want to increase oversteer to the point where it gets sudden and difficult to contain. the bar being fitted here is quite modest. Im sure the results will be quite an improvement.
