Stock Car Handling Q's - Saab 900

Hi, My name is Bob Marcus and I race a saab 900 in a 'strictly stock' 4 cyl. class on a 1/3 mile, banked oval. The surface is paved. We are running sub 20 second lap times. My problem is the faster we push these machines, the more push I seem to develop. I run a 1-1/2" to 2" staggar in the front and next to nothing in the rear. Air pressures are 38 RF, 36 RR, 18 LR and 20 LF. Right side will build up to 6 lbs during a 15 lap feature, RF about 2-3 lbs, RR nothing. Rear springs have had the rubbers removed and I am considering heating/compacting them to get the rear-end lower. I have sway bars front and rear and it has been suggested to me that the rear sway bar may be fighting the front and actually hurting my performance. Anybody got experience with this?? Thanks for any info you can pass on. Bob M.
