the first I'll try would be to soften the sway bar. even before touching height, springs....
Actually, from what I've read, softening the rear is supposed to add more grip to the respective end.

Yeah, that's certainly opposite of what I was intending on doing. But, maybe lowering the front end, thereby lowering the roll center, causes understeer. I'll have to check on that before I mess with the ride height.

for me is working pretty well for the added stability.... brake more into the corners, go to the apex a little bit later and than use the full traction to exit as a rocket and is incredibly easy to control if the rear gets a little loose in 3rd gear.
At -2.0 at the front, the outside shoulder blocks of my tires shows quite a bit more wear. No doubt braking will be affected, and I'll just have to see if the added lateral traction is worth the loss in braking prowess.
