My swaybar is non-adjustable. I had my alignment after the track day, and its screwed up now because of Egans whiteline rear control links. I never overcooked any of the corners (exept that one where I went straight off, I didnt want to go sideways into the dirt) 
My car wasnt acting like yours was that day, IE actually biting and turning in well. The rear end would just come out and not come back no mater what I did. It was mostly tire pressure and the AGX settings causing the issues. Its fine now, in fact much better. I cant wait for fernly

I had the strut settings at the same setting as they were at Thunderhill, but the one or two small mods I had between then and Buttonwilliow made it so the car was crazy tail happy with those same settings. I probably wont even change the strut settings at first this time for Fernly, just leave them as they are now. But the alignment I will get between now and then will help even out the car even more (the rear toe is off due to the lateral link install)
