So it seems the car is still a bit too biased on the front. Nothing alarming.

A change in tire sizes and weight balance is in order for a better balance. Your rear tires are not heating up enough and the fronts seem to be doing the max amount of work.

What are you noticing in terms of grip levels through turns.

Mid corner push? Slow turn in? Exit understeer (on power or off power?)

Mid corner oversteer off or on throttle?

What happens when you trail brake into a corner...

How are the tires behaving when they get hot, do you notice when they start to heat up?

Just some questions to ask yourself.

Pretty much for the above the car under steers. Sometimes I try to break the rear out just a little to rotate the car and use less of the front but that seems slower. It's just there is too much weight in the front and the springs and bars are not firm enough (nismo) to stop a lot of the body roll. That will be changing this winter.
