Thanks for all of the replies lots of good info here. One thing I want to clear up first is that I do have 1/8th toe in, actually I have 0.16 so a little more than 1/8th. My previous statement about toe out was that maybe as the rear is unloading the reduction of toe-in is causing me some grief.

Suggestions that I will try at this weekends event are:
Setting the rear shocks to full soft
Disconnecting the rear bar ( if i can borrow a jack while at the event)
Upping my front damper stiffness to reduce nose dive

If none of the above helps I will get my alignment checked and make sure that nothing got out of whack.

As for the nose dive, I guess I will have to learn to live with it. I don't want heavier springs up front as roads are really rough here and I can't find a set of 2 way coils that don't cost 3k+.
