Im reading Chassis Engineering by Caroll Smith and he has a page or 2 about his days in formula vee. In formula vee they have the same basic setup as far as the swing axle rear goes. Here are some ideas he used to win in his race series maybe these ideas can help you prefect your car. Keep in mind these are tips for a formula vee car.
1. He said stock anti-roll bars are too stiff for a car with no limited slip. So maybe loosening up the rear end or adding a LDS might be an advantage.
2. He said he ran tons of ackerman to help the car turn in better and get more work out of the front inside tire.
3. He ran a wide front track to help the inside wheel do as much work as possible.
4. Made sure to have sufficent droop travel to make sure he didnt have an tire lift.
5. He also ran retivly soft front springs to help prevent initial turn in understeer.
Those are jsut somet hings to try. Hope that helps.
