Great, What setting are you all running the front bar at? Maybe my problem is the front bar is just set to stiff. I’m running a square setup but have a little understeer at low speeds.

When I ran BSX I set the front bar full soft and the rear bar also full soft while running square NT-01. When I ran staggered I set the rear bar 2 off full soft. Toyo RR generates more grip and might benefit from more bar F/R.

My driving style works best with some movement during weight transfer and I don't like a car that is too stiff and tied down. The other issue is that an LSD is not Spec legal so if the rear is too stiff you get a ton of inside wheel spin on corner exit. By softening the rear the car generates better grip and is quicker out of the corners.
