if that still dont help get some koni's and tighten the dampers down.
I wish tires would fix this problem. If tires woudnt fix this im afraid i would probably go back to stock suspension which i know didnt have that issue.

there are plenty of people with lowered z's that dont have this issue, so try the tires, then the dampers. GL

Your initial Toe settings were pretty horrible, I am not clear if you were having the problem with the initial toe settings or on the final toe settings. Your front camber although not bad, could be a lot tighter than -1.3 and -1.8 on the final.

Toe settings will definitely make the car "dartier".

I would try 0 toe in the rear.
back some rear camber out to about -1.1
and get both front wheels to -1.8

Also: Rear sway setting?
