If you're roll center in the rear is wrong significantly in either direction, you're going to be loose. Too low and the car wants to flop over and wash out, too high and the rear just slides around out to lunch.
Removing washers in the front inside (raising roll center) almost always adds more initial steering on all cars. It tends to remove mid corner steering if you go too far.
Ok that makes sense. I am pretty good at tuning by trial and error. I can always get my cars hooked up. But sometimes I do things and get an entirely different result then what I had expected. Then I just go the other way. Still learning why things do what they do.
