Just kidding!

I don't think it is bump steer (although you can get some), I think it is mostly the rear bouncing over harsh bumps as the suspension isn't as compliant as average car due to it's sporty setup.

Not sure of an ideal solution, you can make the suspension softer but then you ruin the sportiness for the smoother corners. Stiff rear sway bar can also make it worse.
I hear you. I'm hoping that someone has successfully addressed this issue so that we can learn from their experience.

The Megan toe links might be the ticket, maybe someone here has first hand experience with them.

I'm thinking that a good double-adjustable rear shock might be able to moderate the condition, any thoughts?

I'm hoping to avoid just throwing money at the problem.
