When my suspension was all original, around 110,000 miles, I noticed the car felt floaty and light when turning near 100 MPH. Bishop bend at Sebring is one example I can think of with turning at high speeds with no braking. After refreshing my suspension with new struts, rubber parts, etc... the car feels very solid, right before Thanksgiving I spent 3 days at Sebring and got 13 sessions, maybe 75 laps total, car felt solid and had my two fastest runs through Bishop at 106 mph and 108 mph. Car also feels solid at 128 mph heading into the braking zone for T1 at Roebling where I brake down from 126-128 down to about 80 for the turn in and apex around 70.

My front alignment was the same across all times, zero front toe and around .16 degree total toe in the back. rear from -1.6 to -1.9 and front either -1 (before GT3 LCA) ranging from -2 to -2.5 after.

Maybe it is worn struts giving the floaty feeling?
