Using the proper tire inflation is critical.
I wish I could tell you what those figures are. I remember a post about it quite a while back. I would give it a good searching.

BAT struts are gas charged...the internal pressure is like a "second spring" which attempts to maintain the strut at an extended state. Mine did the same thing at first. Give it 1000 miles or so, and they'll break in (or soften up), so to speak, and do that a lot less, if at all.

Bigger rear sway bar will not help at all for rear end kicking out over bumps.
Rear strut tower brace will minimize rear end "twisting" under pressure..also will not help.
Poly bushes...that hold rear sway bar will also not help.
Try playing with tire pressures.
I run 33psi Front and 32 psi Rear on my set-up for road use. I have found that any more psi causes a degradation in ride that isn't benefited in handling.
Also...what tires are you running? Some tires have less bump absorbption designed in them...which could go hand in hand with making that rear end kick out...

Check this...I had some Yokohama es100s put on...tire place had'em at 37 psi...rear end was always coming around from my ausie bar. Talked to Terry Haines, who suggested the pressures I mentioned before...now the rear stays where it needs to! I think you'll be happy.
Also..use a good tire inflation gauge...the ones attached the hoses are dropped and abused...left out in the elements...usually a couple of pounds off.
