Sorry Guys, tired and cranky after some horrible long overnight shifts.

Appreciate the replies. Yes, my point being that I've added non-slip matting to the back, try to drive accordingly but it's the last little kick of body roll that lets everything fly when you think you've got it covered. I also have a tub for shopping bags, it's fine. It's more work bags and boots and things tumbling around, more annoying than anything.

Like I said, considered a sway bar for very limited results but otherwise won't be doing anything. I just wasn't sure how limited the sway bar would make any difference on stock suspension, I know it kinda defeats the purpose but if it's slightly better then perhaps worthwhile and call it done. cheers

As Fu says, stiffer springs, thicker sway bar.

I have a wagon, but FE2 suspension with polyair bags fitted, it's fine on corners.

Yeah, I'm think swaybar or nothing at all, just wondering what difference that alone will make without the rest.

Put down antislip rubber matting, and pack everything up forward and snug in the wagon area, not close to the opening. VZs with FE2 suspension won't tilt or roll, but inertia will still send stuff in the back all akimbo e.g. when cornering at speed.

Already has the strut brace and matting in rear. Will report back if I bother to get a swaybar and if it makes any noticeable difference with setup as is.
