reduce grip, reduce roll; things to try might include:

lower ride height
lower CG if possible
raise roll center
stiffer springs
sway bars (add them or go bigger)
move the shock mounts outward on the shock towers and/or arms
thicker oil, pistons with smaller holes
less static camber (so the tires can't develop as much grip)
less caster
