What will help free up my car if it pushes in the corner while out of the gas? I would think a stiffer rear sway bar? I would think the inside rear would get less traction.

You mean its understeering when you enter the corner?
Stickier front tires will help.

Alignment, and a 35mm front sway bar (it's not intuitive to up the sway bar size, but the reduction of body roll will prevent camber loss. This keeps your tires flat or flatter on the ground and allows them to work more effectively).

If you don't already have some negative camber in the front, then add some of that first. That will increase the grip up front. The stiffer rear sway bar will make the rear looser in the rear which may make the handling more balance, but it would be due to you removing grip. You don't want that right? More grip is always better, so add grip to the front and see how it feels.

You can also play with the tire pressures. Do you keep track of that?
