swaybars will not help in this case either.

it's completely related to the amount of stroke, toe-in angle on the rear, and damp rate. ive already experimented with this on my G35C and it's got a similar suspension geometry. it's a programmed design of this kind of suspension. i already mentioned on my earlier post on how to reduce this feel. this is another reason why im not running lowering springs on stock dampers.
Is more toe going to eat the rear tires, or do you just bias it to the factory maximum spec for toe in? Whose dampers do you like?
