A sway bar essentially moves the stickiness of the car away from where 
it's installed.  If the car was well balanced in the first place, then 
you have to increase the stiffness at both ends.

Now, if something else was done that also reduces the grip at the rear, 
then undoing that might be the answer - i.e. you could be more 
aggressive with camber.

Given how much your car differs from stock, we probably need to know 
more about it to give you any sort of answer.  You may also find my web 
site helpful to give you some idea of what's going on.
