Rear sway bars are good on 1600 if its race only and real stiff. We run twin
rear sway bars and the arse end behaves rather well. The front it pretty
soild as well. My 1200 ute has negitve camber but i need alot more (even on
the street)..

Zac,
adding 0.5 degrees -ve to each front leg ( offset strut tops and 1/2" more
lowering
) helped reduce the chronic understeer in the wagon, but changing the
swaybar
from the 22mm aftermarket one to a 19mm standard job ( with nolathane bushes
) was a bigger bonus. More bodyroll but it feels much nicer and doesn't kill
the outside edge of the tyres any more.
If you haven't got one, a rear swaybar will definitely reduce understeer,
and
an adjustable one will allow you to keep the big front bar and dial in your
under/oversteer to a certain extent.
Just watch for the rear wheels deciding they want to lead out of corners :)
Having said that, my sedan's not on the road yet so I can't speak from
experience,
and there's a number of listers who reckon a rear bar is bad news on a 510,
especially on rough roads. Statesiders seem to like 'em though.
