I'm currently trying to figure out how to put power down better on the frs. I would have to be very late and gentle on throttle on corner exits because the rear end tends to step out very easily.
I have spc lower control arm spl toe arm, when set to the desired alignment settings both arms end up being longer than stock. I'm thinking that since both toe and lower control arms are longer does that inturn make the traction arm "shorter" and induces excessive toe in under compression, and causing lack of grip accelerating out

My rear alignment is currently at - 3.0 camber and zero toe
Front is - 3.5 with - 2.2 adjusted at the knuckle with camber bolts and the additional - 1.3 with hvt top hats, also at zero toe
Any advice would be much appreciated
I'd guess less rear camber would help you - I was at -2.8 (one seemed to be at -3 when I got it realigned) and changing to -2.2 made a huge difference in how early I can get on the throttle without walking the back of the car out - though I still can. YMMV,
