Default Light rear end- soloutions?

I went to snett yesterday and found the cars rear was very light when throwing it in to corners.
I have a 24mm rear ARB and coilovers which I did soften through out the day. I only have the small prodrive bunny ear spoiler as on the UK300 so a bigger spolier may help but is there any other options?

The easy answer is dont "throw" it into corners, change your style is the best bet.

when I did donnington making the rear harder help down hollywood into the hairpin where it was loose,
are you on the brakes when it moves? if so that can be solved by changing the rear trailing arm bushes(front and rear really), I noticed a wiggle/squirm under braking, but since replacing the bushes it has improved.

Cheers for the replies so far.

Did you upgrade the bushes or just renew them?
