just a few ideas

a friend wanted to promote lift off oversteer in his sss pulsar, so he fitted a harder swaybar, seemed to give him what he wanted.

from what little i understand, oversteer is caused by the rear camber changing to positive, or more positive on "outward boody roll"

have you fitted a harder rear sway bar? could this be a problem?

maybeye fit a harder front swaybar, this will tend to increase understeer, so it might all come out in the mix.

Bear in mind that an SSS puslar is FWD, so take that into consideration. Different beasts. For example, in a fwd, the inside rear tyre lifting off the ground isn't such a bad thing - in a rwd, it is! But yes, a stiffer rear swaybar should make a car oversteer more.

rear camber changing to positive is just one thing that can effect oversteer, and is one thing that can be built into rear susp design when tuning suspension (at the cost of deliberatley sacrificting some [overall grip, not correct word])
The relative hights of the front and rear roll centres have an effect too, as will weight transfer, as will a lot of other things.... i am by no means an expert, what I am trying to say is don't pigeon hole terms in black and white - how your car behaves mid corner is due to a LOT of interrelated things!
