Getting the inside wheel on the ground

So the first time I took out my 1303 to the autocross. It felt great and did pretty well for a nearly stock 1600 engine. Anyhoo, I was pushing the car pretty hard, didn't feel completely neutral but wasn't far from it either.

I wish I had power steering though, running 215/55/16s all around and going lock to lock is a bit of a challenge. I didn't get any video, need to make a rollbar attachment for my camera mount I have (it's set up for headrests), but people watching me said the car looked really good holding the course. I was lifting the inside wheel though. My question is what to do about getting that wheel down on the ground? Light rear sway bar (stock 944) or good shocks like Bilsteins? Bearing in mind, I also plan to rallycross with this car.

Suspension
-Front 924/944 220lb. springs--dropped the ride height only 1/2" (I know, they're quite heavy and it's a rough ride but this isn't my daily) with KYBs
-Front sway bar--stock '74-
-Rear-stock shocks

Brakes
-924T all around
-CNC dual m/cs

Wheels
-ROH 16" Porsche 16x7 and 16x8s

Tires
-Kuhmo Ecsta Sticky Street 215/55/16s

-Half roll cage in the car
-No rear seat, interior stripped

Engine
-Basically stock 1600, upgraded exhaust and 1.25s

Thanks.
