Default hard braking comment
i feel the back end a little unstable when braking hard before a tight corner. I wonder if anyone else thinks the same. (completely stock setup)

Well anytime you apply the brakes, you initiate a weight transfer forward. However, it sounds to me like you're carrying your braking a bit too deep into the corner.

yup, "trail braking" is when you are still braking after you have already started the turn in for the corner. this will make any car unstable, and in a mid-engined car, you'll probably be doing a 180 real quick.
