Our cars are engineered for understeer. Understeer is the safest for those who aren't used to high performance driving. To make our cars turn, you have to dial out the understeer. fFrst step is tire pressure, higher pressure in the front and lower in the rear will definitely make a big difference. Next is to get as much negative camber in the front, although the stock limit is about -1, and aim for 0 toe. Then, in the rear, try to REDUCE the very heavy (stock around 2 deg) negative camber. You won't be able to get out much because as you reduce the camber, it affects rear toe and you won't be able to get toe to an acceptable number.

You probably have to go to an alignment shop the sets up race cars because most commercial alignment shops won't set alignment to specs outside of the "target" numbers.
