So far I like mine. I have center diff too which cured most understeer.

I've backed off the damping so in hard corners I've got a bit of bounce since I switched back to lighter springs. I have not put the front bar on...guess I should.

I get rear wheel lift pretty frequently with the Teins set all the way stiff.....

Adjusting them down takes care of the problem. The car seems to handle much better set softer as well.

Engine rpm blipping up is one sign, other times you can hear or feel the tire smacking back down on

the pavement or feel/hear the suspension on that corner taking the loading and unloading.

I dunno, it was pretty obvious to me, swapping back to the stock sway eliminated it for most anything but a harsh parking lot entrance.

interesting work... i have the same problem in my s4 on the same tires as you

i'm on h&r ultras and h-sport swaybars. setting the rear swaybar on soft doesnt help either. LSD was my intended solution, but it looks like the car might be replaced now, so i'm not putting any effort into it at the moment. good luck with the radical suspension changes. cant wait to hear how it turns out!
