Hmm, then i guess apart from adding usual stuff on front like bigger splitter, canards and alike, only maybe increasing rake (if height adjustable suspension) will move that aero balance a bit back to front.
Other suspension mods eg. alignment related or spring & damping rates related imho is bad "fix", due that biased rear aero impact growing in high speed, with mentioned understeer in high speed corners, while suspension changes impact doesn't change in relation to speed, or at least in similar rate. That's why i guess, aero imbalance is better fixed using "aero means".

Not running a duckbill or gurney on my stock trunk fixes most of it. I am already down 8mph on the straights with the wing alone. Adding back to the trunk and adding splitter endplates and dive planes I don't think will be worth it for me being NA with just bolt on's and tune. I have no e85 available either

With proper install with real 3M automotive tape it will stick. My TRD style lip paint match was like 140$ from Ikon Motor sports. Looks great. Plan to add a front spilter and hood vents
