I have been working through the same issue. Over 75mpp feels squirrely, on DE's I did not feel comfortable at high speeds because front end of car felt light. On the other hand, the back of the car felt absolutely glued to the ground.

I have changed my rake - ie the height of the front relative to the back. Have PSS9's so this is possible for me. I raised the back of my car by about 3/8 inch, based on wheel well height.

Did it last week, I can feel a difference on the highway at higher speeds and still trying to figure it all out - but it does seem to help.

After playing around with it to get an idea of how it works, am going to take it to the pros for corner balance and alignment.

You may want to take a look at your rake - I understand the back should be a little higher than the rear - too high and you get oversteer, so be prudent.

Good luck!
