Good point on both counts.
Alex: I suspect a bad rear alignment or something. Are you saying that in a steady-state corner, the back end would get loose? I don't mean coasting, I mean on the gas enough to keep your speed constant. My car is so far from that I can't imagine yours could have done that. I'll see what effect super-stiff springs have on my handling in a few weeks, but theoretically the balance should remain the same.
