What I would look into;
1. Softer top spring. That is the red sedan spring you have? The red generates more on power steering. You want to go with the flourescent red (much thinner, softer) or pick up some associated b4.1 green off road springs and cut shorter. It lets the rear pod articulate and spool up for better on power rear traction.
25wt oil w/ 3 hole piston.
Check that the rear center ride height is not too low so that it doesnt bottom out though.
2. Try sliding the battery back about 8mm if you have room.
3. I don't know if the Norcal temps are too cool right now for the hard rears you are using. You may need to go to 75 rears for out door Winter.
Let me know how it goes and if you need further improvement.
Changed to a cut b4.1 green spring and did everything else you listed except tires, track temp is 80+ and WOW,WOW that gave me alot of entry and mid steering but with the rear still planted, thanks!
But I am still having the issue where on corner exit if the front wheels aren't totally straight and I get on power at all the car wants to rotate, but it's not losing rear traction/grip, the rear tires are not sliding at all.
I am guessing I need stiffer side springs or to put more tension on them. ??
