Asking For Some Advice......On handling
Here is a video of me racing at a track Last weekend and I did pretty could time...Others were doing 55 sec track records form other evos 2.3 and other subarus..They dont have classes everything is accept all open... So you can understand this is greece...So the only thing is i want your opion on what is you see. My time was 56.6 ..And this track is my third time others have raced here since 2005 so there is already a disadvantge...I have on my car Toyo R888 255/35/18 with work cr kai 20 offset and 18x8.5 plus KW 3 suspension and 35psi cold front and back...I had a little oversteer... Plus I was trying to set the car before i put it in the corner as you can see..I try to place it then push it..that is my way...I bought swaybars white line front and back adjustable....Should i put them on or only the rear....and stock front...thanks for your help

Have you checked your alignment settings?
It's possible (probable really) that your suspension geometry is bad now from installing the coilovers which, I assume, lowered the car. If you run the suspension very tight so there is little travel, and align the car with aggressive/race settings, it's not as big of a problem. Have you considered something like the White Line Roll Center correction pieces and Rear Bump Steer correction pieces?

Pete, looks to me like you are doing well. I am surprised that your car doesn't push but then your coilovers may be tuned for that.
a two inch drop in front may be a bit much, for sure do the roll center fix, or if you don't mind, try raising the front a cm or so. There is a point at which lowering the front causes more harm than good.
I was impressed when I raised my car from being lowered (got tired of scrapping the bumper on ramps). I also installed the roll center correction kit, between the two it turns some better.
A second or two off the mark is real good. It may be that a ride with one of the leaders would help as much as anything else.

Thanks very much for the good words i need to here some expert advice...Like I asked I am waiting to put on the sway bars white line front and back and I am going to lift the car up 1cm...I see that my car leans too much in to the corners and when i stiffen the front the car seems like it corner better...Plus I see that alot of people fix there rear diff....At TTP does that help alot of the front plowing....I want to make my car into a train on rails...then i can kick some A$$....

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
1. Alignment settings - did you get corner balanced? Those tires like more camber too.
2. Roll Center Correction Kit
3. Play with tire pressures.
4. Seems you were off line and speed in some turns. Corner entry and position plays into how the car reacts both mid and exit.
