Massive oversteer issues
First thing I would do is jack up all four and look for any play in suspension. The next step is differential. There is a good chance the rear differentials is locking up more than it should. If all checks out, last I'd do is alignment.
Look for damage/wear everywhere in the suspension, esp. bushings (note - FLCA bushings are hard to check when mounted). Diff mounts too. Then take to Darin and have him examine everything, incl. F&R subframes.
Eh, just drive it faster through the corners. The higher speed will create more rear downforce and fix your balance issue.
Seriously, check the rear toe links. I had my T1R BSK for around 10 track days and the rod ends had so much wear that the toe could slop back and forth about 1/4" each.

Sounds like mine except I've done other things to try to induce understeer. Now it'll understeer until it gets a high amount of load which makes it snap from understeer to oversteer and it's quite driver unfriendly. I'm trying replacing All the rear Arms, Bumpsteer kit and bushings this weekend. I drive other cars even back when my was all CR suspension and mine has just always driven like ASS. I'm thinking I have something bent.
Mike, does your car behave the same way in left and right handers or is one way worse than the other?
GL to both of you, hope you get it fixed quickly
It does the same both ways.
I stopped by Rising Star Motors after work today, and they did a quick check on the suspension components... and nothing is bent/snapped/loose. Bushings seemed okay. Ron did a quick test drive of my car and did notice that he could get the rear to come out rather easily (deserted parking lots are nice for some quick testing like this). I was actually hoping that something would be broken/snapped so that I could just replace it and be done with this. I was completely frustrated this entire weekend at CVR.
I'm going to try to set a late appointment at West End this week and get this sorted out; I'm supposed to be driving at WSIR this weekend, but I'm not going there with this super happy rear end.

If you push on the rear of the car does it feel smooth when you push it down or does it feel like you're breaking something loose before it starts to move?
The thing that sucks is you might not notice anything wrong because of the lack of load.
It really seems like it's a toe out issue in the rear though unless torsen diffs can do funky things.
