The dunlops that came on my car were horrible. Changing to R888 rears soled that.

If you're used to AWD a big part is getting used to having more throttle control. No more mash and go.
I second the wider tires. I have 285s and it helps a lot. Also different types of tires for the climate you're in will help. I'm in western Washington and the summer tires didn't work.
Other than that, it's just getting used to having RWD. If you can't get it down or don't like, it's not for you.
