It looks that the majority of the owners had "issues" and they don't join forums. They will use daily their car and ocassionally join a track. The Road & Track term makes a real sense. Everyone says that the first car generation was drift focused on day to day driving. Second generation (+'17) is more mature and planted by lowering the rear spring rates. Aftermarket companies used the same approach. They lowered also the rates in front to keep the balance. Another solution could be to use wider tires on the rear, but it would change the balance a lot. Similar problems if you have a squared 235+ setup. You gain in cornering and grip, but you lose on acceleration and then blame the car that has no power. Besides, most users won't change the tire size. They'll upgrade to a better tire compound and that's all. Maybe some of us here have unrealistic expectations on specific products.
