The added ballast is doing a few things:

1. Lowering the car
2. Adding camber
3. Changing the center of gravity
4. Possibly altering corner weights

I experienced a similar issue with my coilovers. My first track day, the car was plowing like crazy. When it was totally full of gas, it got very neutral. I added a bit of camber up front and all was well.

That having been said, i prefer slightly lower ride heights than topless. I'm probably 2" lower than stock up front and 1.5" lower in back. I like zero toe front and just a TOUCH of toe in at the back (pretty much zero). If you drive mostly on he street, go with topless' ride heights.

Try -.8 deg camber front and -1.4 deg in back. Consider getting it corner balanced.
