Thanks for the replies everyone. Maybe I should have started with a different question rather than a question about a solution. Does anyone else feel the steering starting to get loose at 80mph? It feels like the front end is lifting a tiny bit and I start loosing that tight steering feel

how hard or sharp are you turning..? I regularly take highway loops at 80+ and I don't feel like I'm losing control of the front end even when it goes over uneven expansion joints...plus naturally steering feel should get lighter at higher speeds or am I missing something here.

Toss a front splitter and some canards on, that should add the downforce you're looking for at high speeds.

If you are tracking some of those panels could lead to heat building up in your rear diff because it does not get any air, do a search on it. On the street it’s not likely an issue,

I just got the car a few weeks ago, so I haven't really done anything to it yet. It came with 235/40-18 up front and 265/35-18 in the back. I forget the name of the tires, but they're brand new and Z rated. Stock suspension, TRD swaybar.

Well there's your problem. Put the same size tires on all four corners and report back.

I bet that car had other mods and they returned it to mostly stock before selling. I’d start with alignment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It did come with the wheels, TRD swaybars, TRD catback, Crawford intake spacers and HKS air filter. I'll get an alignment here soon.
