In the end, the light rear end is a blessing because, on every single sweeper, we get to play with steering by throttle. You can also stay in a gear higher than optimal. This will limit your torque and make throttle control easier. An upgraded LSD should help, too. I think a wing is a later mod, not an earlier one.

Try going into a corner too fast. You'll understeer, at least at first.

For the pedal dance, I have been doing it, I dont think the electronics would allow for so much slip angle even in "off" mode.


I wouldn't recommend leaving the spare + junk in the trunk. That won't help and could make things worse. Back in the day Gary Sheehan in USTCC with his WRX put all of their series required ballast in the trunk initially with the thinking of making the car less front heavy biased. The result was excessive oversteer city. Eventually they moved it to the center of the car for a lower polar moment of inertia. Much more stable.

A little rear toe in would be where I'd start, maybe a little more rear camber as well. Sticky-ish tires on soft stock suspension wants a lot of camber.
