Bay Area the car was suddenly loose everywhere. I almost gave up on this car. The default setup is good but the suspension rocker arms developed some play in the bearings so there was over 1mm of play in the suspension before the shock would move. Also, running the low roll center setting in the back of the car I noticed the rear suspension arms were touching the chassis on the down travel. These two things made the car loose everywhere. Now I have new rocker pieces installed in the car and run a high roll center setting in back of the car. The car is planted everywhere now.
Try Mr. Law's setup that was used at the nationals as a starting point.. That setup is posted on petiterc's site. I use a very stiff rear suspension setup with a slightly softer front setup and now my Evo never spins out.
Hope that helps.
