The old 911 (or the 964) gives you more than one extra degree of camber gain over an 80mm compression vs the 993.
Which means...?

I don't know, but I'd be willing to bet that the 993 has higher roll stiffness.
As far as why the 993 is more stable in the rear - rearward and side loads no longer produce compliance toe-out, which probably goes a long way to calming lift-oversteer. Also it has more and lower aspect ratio rubber - always a bonus.
