Don't forget too that when BL added the swing-spring they also 
increased the stiffness of the front (anti)sway bar.  It principle 
this combination should solve the tuck-under problem but increase 
understeer, thus decreasing the ultimate lateral g's you can obtain.  
I kinda' like the feel of my Spitfire's stock suspension, slightly 
sagging at the rear, but then, I gave up worrying about ultimate 
lateral g's a long time ago.  If I ain't competin' then it don't 
really matter.

Your mileage will certainly vary...

Tomorrow we're gonna' terrorize farm stands with the GT6, the Lord 
willin' and the creek don't rise.
