I did this and was pleasantly surprised at how it behaved. This was with factory suspension on RS3 hankook tires. Though with the factory springs it would wallow on long turns, I'm assuming the rear suspension was bouncing off the bumstops. With your spring rates you probably wont experience this. The rear end gripped really well with the rear sway bar unhooked.
What is your set up? What dampers and alignment?

What's surprising about it is that the front is nowhere near its limits when the rear lets go - in fact it feels like I could easily add another 5-10mph on turn in before seeing any signs of understeer. When the rear does let go, it does so quite quickly - think AP1 S2000? - and I am losing a lot of time 'drifting' which is definitely not the type of driving I enjoy.
Ideally I don't want to numb down the front end just so I can bring the rears into play but if I have to, I guess I have to.
As for my set up, I am on tein flex (before being phased out with mono and street options) with 7kg/mm front and rear.
F: 2.3 camber, 0.25 degree toe out,
R: 2.15 camber (with lowering, no LCA used to correct atm), 0.25 toe in
Lowered 30mm front and 28mm rear
