i am not surprised, a 53/47 is honestly a perfect balance because it offers more front grip at lower speeds and heavy braking, but when you get on it...rotational weight distribution changes and it becomes more balanced.

dynamic 50/50 is a golden distribution that not many cars actually achieve. And vehicles that have 50/50 weight distribution are challenged with poor control if not remedied with a more intricate suspension geometry.
