Here's a setup I've used to just about eliminate understeer:

- Non-staggered 255 tires all around (on Kosei K1)
- TcKline camber plates

Even then, I have to dial up the rebound and compression on my rear shocks to allow the car to rotate a bit more.

Some may argue otherwise, but I wouldn't mess with anti-sway bars. I paid $150 for the bars...$500 to install and after one track event, $500 to remove them. The stock bars are more than sufficient, IMO.

If you want to stick with your tires, try getting your fronts to 40 hot and your rears to 38 hot. That should help you rotate a tiny bit more.
LCM, you gotta take a pic of your 255s on the Koseis. I'm curious to see how they look mounted. I want to move up from 245s.
