Weight transfer. Weight transfer induced oversteer can be dangerous at high speed if your not comfortable using it. Wingless will make the effect even greater.

I put in a set of Omnipower coilovers and now I notice the wiggle. Do spring rates have an affect ?????

Most cars are like that. ESPECIALLY FRONT ENGINE CARS! All my cars do. Basically you just have to keep very still and steer as you need. If the back comes too loose then GET OFF THE DAMN BRAKE a little bit

it's your coilovers. they're not weigh balanced.

I do over 140mph heavy braking, nothing happens.

FWD based Awd is a lot more stable at high speed on brake and turns than AWD or RWD based AWD.

if you are doing triple digit speeds you should prolly just tap the brakes multiple times get it under 90ish and then apply the brake..
