Default Tale happy sti03 on t25 ast

Had the AST t25 set up fitted to the car a few months ago. Took her out last nite for some spirited driving for the first time since having it done. The front end of the car seems great, no understeer and goes where ever i point it. The only problem is it seems very tale happy during corning.

Any way to neutralise this???

What spring rates were installed?
What are the damping setting on the car?
Do you have an uprated (Whiteline) rear anti roll bar?
What are your tyre pressures?
Who did the alignment at Powerstation, or did someone else do it?

Does the car have dccd transmission?

Sorted out the car can be really neutral and very stable like this:

Have you an adjustable rear anti roll bar? If so, what setting is it on? You can actually adjust through 5 settings from full hard, move 1 side to middle, both to middle, 1 to soft or both to soft.

Mine is set middle with AST's and is about as neutral as you can get it, no under or oversteer unless you are brutal with the throttle.

Make sure that you move it to the softer setting and not the harder as it will be even more tail happy
