Whilst theoretically it is likely to be an understeerer, you are more likely to discover your 4WD is a roller over, due to their higher centre of gravity and rather narrow wheel base. Sure, you can make the suspension stiffer, but that only means you will roll at higher speeds. This is something that is close to my heart - not only do I work in an ICU which receives spinal pts, a close friend of mine was rendered quadriplegic when his 4WD rolled over. At the end of the day, I think you are going to have to accept that the Rav4 ain't a handler. For show purposes, it might be neccessary to make some token gestures to show you've done something. Don't believe the rego paper weight - my car supposed ly weighs 1150....weighbridge says 1280. The back of your car will always make noise as it effectively is an unbraced open ended box. Some sort of bracing may help, but short of a cage, I can't imagine anything that will look acceptable. I think a cage would look good, and it can still be legal, but it would be a horrific expense.
