What does understeer have to do with max cornering forces?
400/350 rates, and without a huge rear ARB (you don't mention one), its going to understeer if you don't lift, period.
Autocross or track use? Otherwise you should never be hitting cornering limits to induce understeer anyway.

autocross, no rear bar. i dunno its just werid handling in the car because it doesnt give, its solid the whole way thru as you go into a turn. which is like different than say driving a vw or a bmw. they lean. sometimes i feel like i'm at the limit going around a turn goin like 60 on a country road, but i'm probably not, but i feel like i am .. u no?
i have the same rates as you but switched. so im running 350f, 400r. its amazing, zero understeer in corners, stock sways.
if you were going for performance oriented ride why did u put stiffer front springs?

A car's suspension can still be performance oriented without having stiffer rear springs. IMHO a car that sees street duty will ride better and be safer with stiffer front springs.
