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.

As I understand it, the much lower roll resistance in the rear due to the  
swing spring created a tendency towards OVERSTEER, for which the fatter front  
anti-sway bar compensated. Overall, I don't think understeer increased compared 
 to the earlier cars.
