Aero questions. Im going to get a wing for my car, the rear is really loose, its fast but its scary driving specially on long sweepers. I dont want to turn the oversteer into understeer and my suspension isnt adjustable (its stock actually). Should I worry about a front splitter or air dam at first or should I just try the wing by itself? Im affraid the wing might lift the front without any aero that transform all of that happy tail oversteer into understeer.

Also, im not only doing it because I find it scary, im really chicken anyways so that probably wont change but I think I can find more time if I can have some more late apexes with early gas applications. I find myself having to give up on some late apexes because the rear will slide out at turn in, I can probably trail brake some more too, currently lifting off brakes completely halfway between turn in and apex, I could probably trail brake all the way to the apex with a wing, allowing me to brake later.

Edit: alignement is -3 camber up front, -2 camber rear, 0 toe all around.

Edit 2: more info, 28k miles on stock dampers with around 15 track days (2-3 hours of track time per day). Surface is tarmac not asphalt so it is smooth, but no rubbery smooth. Tires are 225/45/17 Maxxis RC1. So far I have tried 38, 35 and 32 hot pressures on them. 32 produced the fastest times and better turn in.
