Ideally, you want to be done braking before entering the turn, but sometimes I use the brakes to kick the back out.

If you're looking for more stability/predictability out back you can do tons of things:

-Bring camber back towards 0
-Hubs forward
-More negative toe
-More limiters in rear shocks
-Lower ride height in the back or higher in the front
-remove weight from front or add it to the back
-Find a less aggressive tire for the front, or more aggressive for rear
-Ackerman
-Softer oils
-Softer springs
-Move battery back

Have you tried the C-hubs? I've also found that I prefer a longer rear camber link.
He's pretty spot on. I would adjust your approach before your car. Ideally your braking zone is well before the turn, and then you roll into the turn and power out. The difference between alot of fast cars is how much speed they can carry through that first part of the turn.... if you can brake less than the other guy, and your car is stable through the entry of the turn, youll be faster coming out and faster through the entire turn because of this.

Easier to understand when watching touring cars on carpet. Tracks are usually technical with tight turns. Check out a few videos and watch the fast guys and notice how they will brake while straight, set their suspension, and then roll into and power out of the turn

(wish I could practice what I preached haha)
