In your previous message you said the rear "still retained a 'slippery' oversteer-ish feeling". That sounds like too much rear bar to me, not too little. Since you've got the stock rear bar on it now (I assume FSB was a typo, since you said you'd moved to an Eibach FSB?) I'd just try disconnecting it to start. I bet you'll find the rear feels more planted. (Of course, you'll also get more roll; if that's a problem you could compensate with more front bar, assuming it's still biased toward oversteer, and/or with dampers to some extent.) Or change your spring rates of course, but presumably it makes more sense to try to dial things in with what you have first.

So nice try at a second attempt to make an obviously sarcastic/passive aggressive comment, but you failed twice in this thread.

FWIW, e46 m3 came staggered 225/255 from the factory, and some of the most common track setups are 265square.
e36m3 also came staggered from the factory at 215/245. Common setup is 245square or 255square if you can fit it.

the classic BMW stagger has everything to do with liability for cars sold to the masses and nothing to do with balance. They want an understeering car that favors control when you lift.
