I suggest either a lighter throttle foot to balance the chassis, staggered rims/tires to increase rear grip or a larger front bar to increase understeer.

My bad, I meant the car understeers. Yeh without the C32 bars, it was exhausting to drive in any turns, you had to fight to stay in the seat.
I did springs at the same time, and I was arriving home a lot more
invigorated and relaxed. Now I have CO's, which are even better now they've broken in.

Driving an M3 the other night, I felt what a truely well balanced car feels like, and maybe all I need is one stinkin' sway bar to get it there? That would be nice. Not that it would be an M3, but be better balanced.
I have staggered wheels and tires.
7.5" front, 8.5" back.

No dyno sheets yet.
