^^^ BAHAHAAHA
I figured out when i spin it's cause i am trying to give to much throttle to counter understeer, i think i am trying to counter understeer like you are supposed to counter oversteer. maybe a ton of oversteer is just what i need.

Just make sure to add counter-steer when you throttle-on for your oversteer correction... or else...

Yeah, cut-throttle is the best way to counter understeer- especially with the rear sway. Mid-turn throttle cut makes the rear end on mine come out very easily....I love it!

I'm gonna bring a tarp for under-car adjustments.

I, too, am looking forward to the T&T approach. I think I'll start with the full-stiff treatment. I am just more certain that it's gonna end with a lot of wrong-way facing and an eventual trip to the ramps at lunchtime. We shall see!

Maybe...I get a LOT more understeer than you, I am still not sure why.... but I also think I keep it under control...
I have certainly been on the verge of spinning- but I fail to see how letting it go would help my time

remember, sway bars are just a crutch for improper spring rates. ideally you want the bar to be as loose as possible, but still get the job done. the stiffer you make the bar, the lass independence you have between the wheels and you go from an independent rear suspension to effectively a solid rear axle. hello mustang!!!!!!!!!!!
the setup of the car will greatly affect oversteer and understeer. i could easily get throttle on oversteer in my car, which i prefered to lift-throttle oversteer. you'll need to play around with things to get them where you like them. i recommend keeping both sways in their middle settings and going from there. then you have the option to stiffen or loosen as you need.

Like i said, luckily i will be at a test and tune, so i can just go change it if i need to. I think the car is almost where i want it. I still think my tires are a big factor too. The advans seem to be too slick for front but too grippy in back so i need to force them to break a bit.
