After an alignment and slightly softening up the front dampeners, that high speed skittishness went away. My Alignment when I went to the shop wasn't off that much but I tried driving and doing the same thing afterwards and it's definitely less nervous now. I was thinking it was a combo of things. Maybe the front dampers were too stiff up front and the alignment being a tiny bit off combined with me slamming on the brakes (all the weight going up front) then asking those same tires that are already at their breaking point to switch lanes quickly caused this?

Either way it feels a lot better. Learned my lesson, will be saving up for the Greddy KW Coilovers or the Bilstein B16 PSS9/10 if I'm impatient or wait to get the KW V3's.
