Ed,
 Possible sources for info is King Motorsports (414/593-2800) or T.C. Kline 
(614/771-7744).  As I vaguely remember the set up of Peter Cunningham's 
Prelude, your assumption of the rear tighter than the front is true.  I forgot 
the actually sway bar size and spring rates but the rear was definitely 
stiffer.  

As for tires, the 225/50/15 are a go choice.  For autocross, the 225/45/15 is 
probably better but Hoosier is the only manufacturer that makes that size.  
Nothing against Hoosier but that they are the only ones to make that size.  
Paul Zimmerman (3rd GS in 98 Nationals) ran the Hoosiers.  Anything wider (IMO) 
would not be good.

>>>Generally the consensus seems to be stiffer in the rear than front to dial
in a bit of oversteer. Other suspension components include LIghtspeed
anti-sway bars, and 225/50/15 Kumhos on the stock wheels.

thanks in advance for any advice or wisdom!
