I'm currently on stock rims and tires. I hear a lot about Hankook RS4 tires being the next logical step and that's what I'm looking at. The OEM tires are getting to the point where they should be replaced (shoulders worn, no camber on the wheels yet).

I'm not sure what you mean by wallowing, what am I looking for to know what it is?

From your video, it looks like you're experiencing a lot of what I'd call wallowing in turns. It could just an artifact of the video and not being able to see the bumps and undulations in the track surface though. If you are experiencing wallowing, I'd actually look at replacing your shocks; which is not what I'd usually suggest to a newbie, but if they're worn and not damping properly it can cause that wallowing effect. It's also going to make it harder for you to learn weight transfer mechanics as it won't be predictable and easy to feel.
