You sure? WRXs sure do, and I think STIs and evos might, especially with insanely large tires to keep the outsides stuck to the ground. A front sway may help, but is not going to eliminate all torsional forces on the chassis under cornering loads, and neither will dampers.

Any front weight biased strut suspension car is likely to exhibit unweighting of the inside rear... Take a look at the Hondas in STS or former Neon race series... Don't you think that if they could, those guys would eliminate the inner rear lift?
