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.
