You don't have a Type R or Type RA per chance?

lol it's okay - Type R/RA's are JDM variants.

Your car has the regular 50/50 torque distribution by way of open front diff; viscous centre and rear diffs.

Prob find that you need to check tyre pressures and maybe get a full laser geometry alignment. You could fit a thicker FRONT ARB, to try to temper the rear (as it'll understeer more, thus giving you some warning about not to continue pushing). Not ideal though, as, in some way, you're actually taking some of the alacrity away from the front.

Or it simply could be that some part of your rear suspension/springs/shocks are not loacated properly/come adfift/knackered.

No. You have a UK car - NO UK variant was a Type R or RA. (In any case, even if it were a JDM, there were no Type R or Type RA wagons).

But the UK-only P1, having the 2-dr Retna coupe shell, is "made" from a regular JDM STi v.5/6 Type R... but doesn't have the Type R's DCCD rear-biased 4WD set-up, regardless. That said, it is also NOT badged as a Type R in any way.

The 22B Type UK (indeed also the JDM 22B-STi) is also derived from a STi v.4 Type R - but DOES have the DDCD set-up. But once again, it still doesn't sport Type R badging.
