Triangulated 4 link and sway bar

From what I've read in my countless internet hours, putting a stiffer rear sway on will tighten up the rear and will normally cause under steer. And while I'm not 100% sure I'd assume the need for a rear bar while running wider tires would be for compensating spring rate?

Understeer can be quite fun. It's just that all other parts of the suspension (in terms of proper spring rate, shock valving, and axle location) should be taken care of before adding a rear sway bar. I feared it for years (crash-reinforced), but eventually added one anyway; I'm still somewhat on the fence, but my car seems to recover from light rear tires very quickly and easily. I just got some sticky tires to add to the mix...
